Even playing a familiar song on my playlist brings soothing comfort. Their homes tell you much about their loves and interests so I ask them to tell me stories, tell me about what is on their walls, or what is a favorite book on their shelf and also share pictures of their family. Through an encouraging note, text or email I like to send pictures of beautiful flowers, my family and my adventures just to let my friends know that I am thinking about them.
#Corrie ten boom quotes about fear full
It’s reassuring that “This world is not our home, we are just a passin’ through.” Uneasiness in this world just reminds us that we were never meant to live in a world full of sin, disease, heartache and calamity. Some favorites are Psalm 23, 92, 92, 95 and 86. Reading passages from the Psalms also brings great comfort and hope. Since we are communal souls, sharing a meal or even tea and some delightful tasty treat brightens any spirit, along with sharing what I have been learning in Scripture. I have found in connecting, both with my 21 year-old mentee and my 92 year-old friend, that they really appreciate being listened to about what is going on in their lives and what they are feeling. “Worry doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but empties today of its strength.” “Safety is not the absence of danger but the presence of MY LORD.” “We do not fear an unknown future when we have a KNOWN GOD.” My Christian heroine is Corrie Ten Boom - her quotes are priceless. Corrie then said, Let’s now sing a hymn of praise. Lony remained motionless behind her as she finished her teaching. Corrie, however, felt she had to obey God who had so clearly guided her to bring a Bible message to the prisoners that morning. BUT words of encouragement and meaningful passages of Scripture can help lift spirits like nothing else.ĭO NOT FEAR is a commonly repeated command in Scripture. She was among the cruelest of all the women guards. Fear, anxiety and worry are often our first responses. Keeping connected with friends and family has always been a passion of mine, especially in life’s difficult times.
