As educators, you need the daily leading of the spirit of light which immediately recognizes, attacks and does away with all darkening elements, even before they can come to rule over the little sensitive souls.

- Eberhard Arnold When the Time Was FulfilledWe work until we are weary to the bone and yet see so little fruit. Does everything remain as it was? Haven’t we made any progress? Have we actually helped at all, or have we merely scratched the surface of things? Is there any trace or glimpse of the goal we long for? What do all our efforts amount to in the face of all the forces of misery and evil in the world? Left before such agonizing questions, it is good to remember the light that shines from the stable of Bethlehem, for it is here we are able to sense what it means that the kingdom of God came as a little child.

Yesterday's quote

A turning is necessary; but anyone who would remain at the point of turning is not usable for the kingdom of God. The decisive thing is to see God’s kingdom, to enter God’s kingdom.

Not our inadequacy, but God’s perfect will is now the substance of our life and thinking. Therefore, from now on our entire interest goes away from ourselves, toward all people of the earth and of all worlds of God, toward near and far creatures of God; toward those who have died and those unborn. The interest of God’s kingdom embraces the times and spaces of all worlds of God, of the earth as well as of all other worlds with all their spiritual princes and creatures of light. That God’s kingdom may become reality on earth as it is real in heaven—that is what we have to live for. Certainly, for this a turning is necessary.
- Eberhard Arnold
