Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quotes

Twenty Centuries Later, Jesus Speaks Pointedly To The Preening Ascetic Trapped In The Fatal Narcissism Of Spiritual Perfectionism, To Those Of Us Caught Up In Boasting About Our Victories In The Vineyard, To Those Of Us Fretting And Flapping About Our Human Weaknesses And Character Defects. The Child Doesn't Have To Struggle To Get Himself In A Good Position For Having A Relationship With God; He Doesn't Have To Craft Ingenious Ways Of Explaining His Position To Jesus; He Doesn't Have To Create A Pretty Face For Himself; He Doesn't Have To Achieve Any State Of Spiritual Feeling Or Intellectual Understanding. All He Has To Do Is Happily Accept The Cookies, The Gift Of The Kingdom.4
