When I read The Cost of Discipleship, I found it wasn’t just a single sentence that cut me open—it was the whole weight of Bonhoeffer’s clarity. He wasn’t writing from theory. He was writing under the weight of martyrdom. And he wasn’t calling readers to admire Jesus. He was calling us to follow Him.

That’s a good reminder for me today.

My deep gladness is not to predict the future, but to be present.

To be available.
