No, it is so good to know that God never makes a mistake. Once we will understand that when we are in heaven, but now already we can know very much from the Word of God. This book shows us that God has no problems with the world and with your and my life. God has no problems, only plans. There is never panic in heaven. And the thing that you and I must do is look in the right direction. Look unto Jesus.

Trying to do the Lord’s work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.

There is nothing too great for God’s power and nothing too small for His love.

Look unto Jesus. So often people say to me, “Oh but Corrie, you have such a great faith.” But I have not a great faith. I have a small faith, but it is a faith in a great God. And it is not written in the Bible, “Let us look unto faith.” In Hebrews 12 it says, “Let us look unto Jesus, the Author and the Finisher of our faith.” Look around, and be distressed. Look within, and be depressed. Look at Jesus, and be at rest.

Hold everything in your hands lightly, otherwise it hurts when God pries your fingers open.

The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.

When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.

The devil smiles when we are up to our ears in work, but he trembles when we pray.
