“No Pit Is So Deep…”

The Hiding Place – Corrie ten Boom

One of the best-known lines from Corrie ten Boom’s experience in Ravensbrück is: “There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.” In the barracks, amid fleas, disease, and cruelty, Betsie and Corrie discovered that even the most extreme suffering could not separate them from the presence and love of God. The depth of the darkness only made the depth of His love more evident.
