Anne Frank

Anne Frank, the Dutch teenage girl who was a World War II Jewish Holocaust victim and whose diary has been read by students all around the world, penned the following words in her unforgettable journal:

"I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness. I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us, too. I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right."

What an amazing young woman.

In the midst of suffering through the absolute worst of what the world had to offer, Anne Frank maintained a positivity that rivaled that of the apostle Paul who, in Philippians 4:11, wrote about how he had "learned to be content whatever the circumstances."

I think that Anne Frank understood Paul's words and their significance better than any of us.

We must strive to be more like Anne Frank. When we see the coming wilderness, and when we hear the ever approaching thunder, it whatever form that it may sound, and when we feel the sufferings of millions all around us, we, too, must endeavor to look heavenward, and to think that it will all come right.
