Corrie ten Boom is remembered for her faithfulness during WWI? She provided a secret hiding place in her home to protect and free scores of jews who were persecuted by the Nazi police. For her efforts she was incarcerated at the Ravensbrück concentration camp. There she suffered many atrocities, along with her fellow captives.

The story is told that years later, after coming to America, a man came to visit Corrie in her home. “Corrie, he commented, “Certainly God is good to provide you such a nice home.” Corrie replied, “God was good when I lived at Ravensbrück too.”

What is the condition of your heart today? Is it able to see God’s goodness in times of trial and suffering as well as in times of blessing? God doesn’t change. He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. He will never abandon you. God is good all the time and all the time God is good. Blessed are those who are able to see God’s goodness as always present in good times and in bad. It is from this perspective and reality that his light shines into the darkness of your life and the lives you touch.

“Give thanks to the Lord for his love endures forever.”
Psalm 107:1
