" God’s mission in the world is not a matter of God doing everything and us just watching from the sidelines. But nor is it a matter of us doing it ‘in our own strength’, with God in the background as a mere spectator. The powerful breath of the spirit means both that God is doing it and that we are doing it, precisely because as God’s image-bearers there is a natural fit between what God wants to do in and through us and what, when we are in tune with God, we ourselves want to do and find we can at least start to do.
