“If we want to understand God’s goodness in God’s gifts, then we must think of them as a responsibility we bear for our brothers and sisters. Let none say: God has blessed us with money and possessions, and then live as if they and their God were alone in the world.” –
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, God’s loving Care and Human Suffering (Harvest Festival, Berlin October 4, 1931)
If you haven’t read it yet, read Eric Metaxas’ biography Bonhoeffer. It is excellent.
