From Donald Miller's "Searching for God knows what"

I like this book! Donald Miller suggests that repentance has something to do with choosing one audience over another. Getting honor and affirmation from one another is not enough nor is it particularly aligned with objective and absolute truth.

"Look, you guys are running around like monkeys trying to get people to clap, but people are fallen, they are separated from God, so they have no idea what is good or bad, worthy to be judged or set free, beautiful or ugly to begin with. Why not get your glory from God? Why not accept your feelings of redemption because of His pleasure in you, not the fickle and empty favor of man? And only then will you know who you are, and only then will you have true, uninhibited relationships with others."
