“You and I are not in control of our lives; we are not the writers of our own stories. Our individual stories have been embedded in the story of Another... Your life no longer belongs to you. Your story is no longer just your story. You have been welcomed to the kingdom of another, and your life is part of the plan and purposes of that kingdom. Don't allow yourself to begin to think that you are in the center of your universe. Remember, you have been chosen to live for the glory of another, and when you do, you will reach levels of personal contentment and joy that aren't possible any other way.” ~ Paul Tripp, A Shelter in the Time of Storm
