1/1/2021


Hello 2021! My devotion this morning started with an Alice quote in Bonhoeffer's book. The pathway to hell is paved with good intentions. This is apparently a widespread saying even among German theologians, which means only God can control our lives.
But these words from 1944 are so pertinent today: "If we survive during the coming weeks or months, we shall be able to see quite clearly that all has turned out for the best. The idea that we could have avoided many of life's difficulties if we has taken things more cautiously is too foolish to be entertained at the moment."
Image may contain: tree, text that says '2 Corinthians 5:16-17 NLT So we have stopped evaluating others from a human into view. At one time tkoughtof Christ metefytolm.a human point of view. How differently we know him now! This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!'
