God does not work by only one method, paint in only one color, play in only in one key, nor does He make only one star shine onto the earth. God’s mystery is the rich spectrum of color that is gathered together in the purity of the sun’s white light. The symphonic harmony of all the stars is built up on precisely their manifold variety. But all this is gathered together and will be gathered together at the end of time in the unity of the kingdom of God.

Today's Quote
- Eberhard Arnold, July 1934 From a LetterIt is just in a mission Church, such as ours is and should be, that we must never lose sight of the task of opening up the great and ultimate things. This task should make us into people who stand erect and look over the whole horizon. For this purpose we are on the earth – not in order to look at ourselves with sadness and dissatisfaction – but have an outlook concentrated on the rising Morning Star, on that one point on the horizon where God’s Kingdom is approaching us like the Morning Star shining out from the darkness of the eastern horizon. The Kingdom of God comes in the same way as the sun appears. Expectant faith sees how the whole earth is flooded by the light of the Kingdom that breaks in.

In trembling reverence, man stands in wonder before the life-filled tree, by the living bubbling spring, under the life-giving radiant stars of day and night, in the midst of the fruitfulness of earth and its life. How great and mighty must God be, who brings forth and sustains all things! Into a powerfully shaken and moved heart comes the demand: the great Creator God must become undisputed ruler over all this powerful life.

Each one of us, of course, must preserve his inner freedom, so that each one follows the holy Shall and the holy Must that lives within him, without making himself in any way dependent.
