Do not worry! Earthly goods deceive the human heart into believing that they give it security and freedom from worry. But in truth, they are what cause anxiety. The heart which clings to goods receives with them the choking burden of worry. Worry collects treasures, and treasures produce more worries. We desire to secure our lives with earthly goods; we want our worrying to make us worry-free, but the truth is the opposite. The chains which bind us to earthly goods, the clutches which hold the goods tight, are themselves worries.
Dietrich BonhoefferIn Jesus, the service of God and the service of the least of the brethren were one.
Dietrich BonhoefferThe entire day receives order and discipline when it acquires unity. This unity must be sought and found in morning prayer. The morning prayer determines the day.
Dietrich BonhoefferWe should find God in what we do know, not in what we don't; not in outstanding problems, but in those we have already solved.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
