Allowing


We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. God will be constantly
crossing our paths and cancelling our plans by sending us people with claims and
petitions. We may pass them by, preoccupied with our more important tasks, as the priest passed by the man who had fallen among thieves, ..... it is part of the discipline of humility that we must not spare our hand
where it can perform a service and we do not assume that our schedule is our own to
manage, but allow it to be arranged by God.

- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
