Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch Christian who risked her life to save Jews from the Nazi Holocaust during World War II. After the war, she visited a prison camp which housed some of the former Nazi female guards from Ravensbruck, where she and her family had been imprisoned. Corrie asked God to shine through her to these women hardened by war.

As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it.  Matthew 13:23

After speaking twice without any visible response, Corrie prayed. Then God spoke to her heart, with one simple word: chocolate. Corrie realized she had a box of chocolates, something unavailable anywhere in post-war Germany and an extravagance for these prisoners. Corrie returned to speak to them and offered the chocolate treats. Suddenly the prisoners were receptive and their hardened hearts softened. Many of the women gave their lives to Jesus Christ that day!

Paul wrote in Ephesians 6:19 “that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel.” As you spend time reading God’s Word and praying for the nation and its leaders, ask Him for creative opportunities to share His love. When you do, you will reap a sweet harvest of changed lives!
