Prodigal: Look at this well!

Me: I love it!

Prodigal: There are very few of those around.

Me: Yes, that is true of other things also.

This is from the book The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

What Dietrich Bonhoeffer and others did cannot be expected from the many. The future in modern society depends much more on the quiet heroism of the very few who are inspired by God. These few will greatly enjoy the divine inspiration and will be prepared to stand for the dignity of man and true freedom and to keep the law of God, even if it means martyrdom or death. These few perform the law because they “look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen: for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”

2 Thessalonians 3:5

May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ.
