Look Up

Dietrich Bonhoeffer writes,

Look up, you whose eyes are fixed on this earth, you who are captivated by the events and changes on the surface of this earth.  Look up, you who turned away from heaven to this ground because you had become disillusioned.  Look up, you whose eyes are laden with tears, you who mourn the loss of all that the earth has snatched away.  Look up, you who cannot lift up your eyes because you are so laden with guilt.  ‘Look up, your redemption is drawing near’.  (from A Testament to Freedom: The Essential Writings)
