Walking in Forgiveness With Corrie Ten Boomનમૂનો

Walking in Love

I knew that one of the worst things that Germany had done to us was that it had taught us to hate. I searched my own heart. The Lord had given me so much tender care and love that hatred was no temptation to me. His love filled my heart, and where love reigns, there is no room for hate. I saw the faults of the German people and the horrors of the present regimes more clearly, and felt them more keenly, perhaps, than many others. I suffered daily from their effects on my person.

On the other hand, I had never before so learned to know the Lord Jesus as a tender, loving friend, who never forsakes us or casts us off when we are bad, but rather helps us to gain the mastery over sin. In the foreground of my life there was hardheartedness, savage cruelty, dismal melancholy, and darkness; but behind it all I saw my Savior, His arms outstretched, and His face shining with light and love. Therefore I could not hate.
