“Where reason is indignant, our nature rebels, our piety anxiously keeps us away: that is precisely where God loves to be. There He confounds the reason of the reasonable; there He aggravates our nature, our piety—that is where he wants to be, and no one can keep Him from it. Only the humble believe Him and rejoice that God is so free and so marvelous that He does wonders where people despair, that He takes what is little and lowly and makes it marvelous. And that is the wonder of all wonders, that God loves the lowly.God is not ashamed of the lowliness of human beings. God marches right in. He chooses people as His instruments and performs His wonders where one would least expect them. God is near to lowliness; He loves the lost, the neglected, the unseemly, the excluded, the weak and broken.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer
