I saw and heard a woman speak in a church once nearly fifty years ago. Her name was Corrie ten Boom. She carried the “brand-marks of Jesus” (Galatians 6.17) on her body. While at the notorious Ravensbruck “death camp,” Corrie and her sister Betsie conducted Bible studies with fellow women prisoners in a flea infested barracks. “The guards never came in to stop them, because of the fleas. So Corrie and Betsie thanked God for the fleas!” Flea bites were Corrie’s “brand-marks.”
Until I suffer like Paul or Corrie, I will never compare my plight with theirs. There is no comparison between me and saints like that.
