Anita Dittman (1927-2020) was just twelve years old when World War II began. She was abandoned by her father and her mother was taken to a concentration camp.
During that time, Anita found Jesus and gave her life to Him. She found that He was with her in all her trials. She was eventually reunited with her mother.
Romans 8:28-"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose."
In 1939, Anita Dittman was a little girl
God had His hand on her in that evil world
She was only 12 when the war began
Hard times were ahead but God had a plan
She fought for survival through many tears
But God saw her through her teenage years
Her dad was Jewish, her mom was German
She was an "undesirable", men determined
Because of this tag she was picked on at school
She was an atheist and they considered her a fool
Girls beat her up while others withdrew from her
Boys would throw at her dog and horse manure
Her father abandoned her one horrible day
To a death camp they took her mother away
Anita had to continually fight to survive
It was a lonely fight to stay alive
One day a lady asked Anita to go to church
She went with this lady with a heart open to search
She felt God's Spirit and that's where it would start
She then asked Jesus into her young broken heart
His Spirit inside gave her light, it was a lamp
Soon even she was taken to a concentration camp
She went through turmoil and many dark days
All day long they had her digging large graves
Yet in that dreadful place she was not ignored
She found others there who knew the Lord
They prayed when they could and they were heard
They would talk any chance they could about the Word
One verse that they clung to was Romans 8:28
They knew God may not be early but He is never late
Even though their dark days could not be understood
They knew their God worked all things for good
They held to 8:28 and would not let in doubt
Soon God did a miracle and got them all out
Anita knew that even though life can get worse
Romans 8:28 is still a faithful and true verse
In her trials 8:28 on her heart was stamped
Spoken by God in a concentration camp
And if you love the Lord you can know it's true
Romans 8:28 is still a faithful word for you
