Something to think about:
-------
The story is told of the time Corrie Ten Boom was to speak to a group of
theologians after the war. She first passed out Dutch chocolate to each
person there - a real treat in those days. After they had eaten it she
said, "No one said anything about the chocolate." Someone protested that
they had indeed thanked her for it. She replied, "I meant that none of you
asked me how much sugar was in it. Or what kind of chocolate it was. Or the
order in which the ingredients were added together. Or the temperature of
the mix. Or where it was made. You just took it and ate it." Someone in the
audience replied, "And it was excellent." Corrie Ten Boom then continued
holding up her Bible, "And in the same way you should read this! Stop
analyzing it or you will never be nourished. Pick it up and read the Word
of God!"
