Lord,
we do not know
what this life
has in store for us,
but be it good or bad,
we are willing
to be used by You.
Use us until
that moment comes
when we go
from service good
to service best –
when You begin
to use us in glory!
Corrie ten Boom, 1892 – 1983, Dutch Christian who hid many Jews from Nazis
