Bible Quote by Corrie Ten Boom
“God's viewpoint is sometimes different from ours - so different that we could not even guess at it unless He had given us a Book which tells us such things…In the Bible I learn that God values us not for our strenght or our brains but simply because He has made us.”

![“The Lord commands us to do good unto all men without exception, though the majority are very undeserving when judged according to their own merits... [The Scripture] teaches us that we must not think of man's real value, but only of his creation in the image of God to which we owe all possible…” quote by John Calvin](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/640/john-calvin-490_age_the-lord-commands-us-to-do-good-unto-all_699524.jpg)
