“There
is no way to peace along the way of saftey. For peace must be dared,
it is itself the great venture and can never be safe. Peace is the
opposite of security.
To demand guarantees, is to want to protect
oneself.
Peace means giving oneself completely to God's commandment,
wanting no security, but in faith and obedience laying the destiny of
the nations in the hand of Almighty God, not trying to direct it for
selfish purposes. Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God.
They are won when the way leads to the cross.”
D.
Bonhoeffer
Thanks for stopping by and commenting. We tend to think that peace = security, when the opposite is true.
