John Eldredge Quote
One of the most poisonous of all Satan’s whispers is simply, Things will never change. That lie kills expectation, trapping our heart forever in the present. To keep desire alive and flourishing, we must renew our vision for what lies ahead. Things will not always be like this. Jesus has promised to make all things new. Eye has not seen, ear has not heard all that God has in store for his lovers, which does not mean we have no clue so don’t even try to imagine, but rather, you cannot outdream God. Desire is kept alive by imagination, the antidote to resignation. We will need imagination, which is to say, we will need hope.
