I love this quote
from this blog
http://mosteverybodylivestheirlives.blogspot.com/
'Faith, wherever it develops into hope,
causes not rest but unrest,
not patience but impatience.
It does not calm the unquiet heart,
but is itself the unquiet heart in man.
Those who hope in Christ
can no longer put up with reality as it is,
but begin to suffer under it,
to contradict it.
Peace with God means conflict with the world,
for the goad of the promised future
stabs inexorably into the flesh
of every unfulfilled present.'
Jurgen Moltmann, Theology of Hope,
quoted in Disciples and Citizens, by Graham Cray.
