Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch lady that became well known after WWII and preach the gospel in many nations. She and her sister Betsie were in a family that was hiding Jews during the war. They were sent to the infamous concentration camp in Ravensbr\u00fcck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were times when Corrie Ten Boom felt cut off from the Lord. In such a time of despair, she once said to the Lord, \u201cHave you forgotten your Corrie?\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the following story, Corrie tells about a time when she and her sister Betsie were in the concentration camp in Ravensbr\u00fcck, and she had this terrible cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
She told her sister Betsie how much she just wished she had a handkerchief. Of course, handkerchiefs were impossible to find in that place. Betsie then suggested that Corrie prays for one, and Corrie just laughed at that ridiculous idea.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, Betsie prayed. She said, \u201cLord, you see my sister, Corrie, here, has a very bad cold, and in Jesus\u2019 name, I ask you TODAY for a handkerchief for her. Amen.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corrie tells that, shortly after that, she heard someone call out her name. She went to stand near the window of the barracks, where she saw a friend of hers, also a prisoner, and who worked in the hospital in Ravensbr\u00fcck.
\u201cHere,\u201d her friend said. \u201cTake this! I\u2019m bringing you a little present.\u201d She pressed it into Corrie\u2019s hand.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI opened the little package,\u201d said Corrie, \u201cand it was a handkerchief!\u201d
\u201cHow did you know I needed a handkerchief? Did you KNOW that I have a cold?\u201d Corrie asked.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo,\u201d said her friend. I was sewing handkerchiefs from an old piece of sheet, and there was a voice in my heart that said, \u2018Bring a handkerchief to Corrie ten Boom!\u2019\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat little hanky, made from an old piece of a sheet, was a message out of the Heavens to me!” tells Corrie. “It told me that there is a Heavenly Father who hears, when on a tiny planet, the Earth, one of his children prays for an impossible, small thing; a handkerchief. And the Heavenly Father says to one of his other children, \u2018Bring a handkerchief to Corrie ten Boom!\u2019\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Corrie continued, \u201cThat is something the Apostle Paul calls ‘The foolishness of God’… that is so much wiser than the wisdom of mankind. You can read it yourself at home. It’s found in 1st Corinthians, chapter 1 and 2.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoes God answer all our prayers? Well, most of the time He does,\u201d she continued. \u201cWhy? you might ask, not every request we make? Well, you see, because He knows what we do not know. He knows everything. Someday, when we are in Heaven, we will thank him for all the answered prayers, (where he gave us what we asked), and maybe even more for the unanswered prayers. Then we will see it from his point of view, and that God never made any mistakes.\u201d
