Enemy Quote by John Eldredge
“The Enemy's plan from the beginning was to assault the heart...Make them so busy, they ignore the heart. Wound them so deeply, they don't want a heart. Twist their theology, so they despise the heart. Take away their courage. Destroy their creativity. Make intimacy with God impossible for them.”
