I love the way he says this...
"There is another great 'revealing' in our life on the road. We run our race, we travel our journey, in the words of Hebrews, before a 'great cloud of witnesses' (12:1). When we face a decision to fall back or press on, the whole universe holds its breath--angels, demons, our friends and foes, and the Trinity itself--watching with bated breath to see what we will do. The question that lingers from the fall of Satan and the fall of man remains: Will anyone trust the great heart of the Father, or will we shrink back in faithless fear?
"As we grow into the love of God and the freedom of our own hearts, we grow in our ability to cast our vote on behalf of God. Our acts of love and sacrifice, the little decisions to leave our false loves behind, and the great struggles of our heart reveal to the world our true identity: We really are the sons and daughters of God."
~John Eldredge, The Sacred Romance
