I love this Nelson Mandela quote:
To be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.
Dang straight! Do you see? Our image-bearing, God-given strength is for the hearts of others and for advancing the Kingdom, as well as for our advancing against the kingdom of darkness!
This is what our God is up to.
