"Saying these words surprised me. So much of my life, I strived and strained to become someone important. Now as I was experiencing God’s unconditional love and acceptance, my desire to fashion some important human identity diminished. Somewhere back on my spiritual journey, there’s a hill where I firmly planted in the ground a flag that reads: GOD IS ENOUGH. It is my flag of freedom, and it includes being liberated from the need to have a purpose. Notice I said a purpose. There is a big difference between determining some specific area of endeavor and excelling in it to feel good about yourself, and what it means to live out our eternal purpose here on earth." (Jim Palmer. Wide Open Spaces)
