Well said and encouraging. You see the heart of the matter.
"You may alter the place to which you are going; but you cannot alter the place from which you have come. To the orthodox there must always be a case for revolution; for in the hearts of men God has been put under the feet of Satan. In the upper world hell once rebelled against heaven. But in this world, heaven is rebelling against hell. For the orthodox there can always be a revolution; for a revolution is a restoration. At any instant you may strike a blow for the perfection which no man has seen since Adam."
GK Chesterton from a chapter in Orthodoxy entitled "The Eternal Revolution"

Funny you should mention GKC. Of course, the quote is perfect, but I happen to be reading Orthodoxy right now, for the first time. Wonderful stuff!
