Resolution

Today is the last day of the year. May the nations move forward in the new year. Yes, one would almost wish for a storm that would sweep away and pave the way for a totally new kind of society. We are impatient when it seems that everything still goes according to old rules, and only the madness of greed and self-satisfying enjoyment and comfort continue to dominate, bringing misery to thousands and millions of people. We must take care to see that our life is inwardly fortified against every storm, hidden with God in a freedom that is on a different level. God's affairs should take root in us, not the affairs of the world.

Christoph Friedrich Blumhardt, Letters to China (No. 50, Dec 31, 1903)
