I came across the name Dietrick Bonhoeffer and decide to do a bit of research, it was whilst looking at his quotes that it hit me, this guy really gets it. He really gets what it is to be a Christian, what it is to live for God-to surrender all and live a life that is God centered and God consumed. He makes so many good points that we can all learn from:"Earthly possessions dazzle our eyes and delude us into thinking that they can provide security and freedom from anxiety. Yet all the time they are the very source of anxiety."
"Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others, we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as ourselves."
"Only he who believes is obedient and only he who is obedient believes."
Now I know this blog entry is hardly a masterpiece but you have to admit they're challenging quotes at least! They're not telling and condemning us on how we should live our lives but rather inspiring us. Check out Dietrich Bonhoeffer (even if it is just a quick glimpse on Wikipedia), he led a truly inspirational and amazing life.
