Jesus is Victor!
"During the last world war, I spent time in a concentration camp in Germany because my family, friends and I had saved Jewish people.
In that prison camp was also, Willy, who was then 15 years old. Willy was very brave.
Every morning she asked me, “Aunty, what is your message today?”
I gave her a very brief message. Once I said, “Jesus is Victor,” another time, “Underneath are the Everlasting Arms of God.”
Willy had to work in a factory together with hundreds of poor prisoners who did not know what the cruel day would bring them. When Willy was working, the woman next to her whispered to her, “Willy, what is your message today?” Willy answered, “Jesus is Victor.”
The woman then passed it on to the next prisoner, and so they repeated it over the whole hall, “Jesus is Victor" or "Underneath are the Everlasting Arms."
That girl, when she enters the Beautiful City, and the saved all around her appear, she will hear from her fellow prisoners, “It is you who invited me here.”
Was she something unusual? No, Willy was just a high school girl of 15 years, but her secret was that every morning she prayered, “Here I am Lord Jesus...use me.”
When you pray that prayer in the morning, that day the Lord will use you to build gold and silver and precious stones on the one foundation, Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 3:11-14)."
