And so I discovered that it is
not on our forgiveness any more than on our goodness that the world’s healing
hinges, but on His. When He tells us to
love our enemies, He gives along with the command, the love itself. (Corrie Ten Boom, The Hiding Place)
If you've had many adventures in your Christian walk, you understand that sometimes the Lord asks you to do something you feel unequippred to carry out. Biblical characters felt that through the Old and New Testaments. Every one felt inadequate either in the their education, prowess, intelligence, or purity. But at the eleventh hour, God came through.
Corrie lets us know that when she face her most bitter opponent and offered friendship, God furnished the feelings to accompany the act. When you forgive and love your enemies, God provides the love.
