Man do I need that. I have tried so damned hard to be “somebody”. I feel driven to gain the approval of others. The striving and posing make my life miserable. I want to stop trying to be somebody and just be who I am. I am a son of the high King. I have the birthright of a prince. I am an heir to an unbelievable inheritance. If I could just get that I would own a peace and a freedom and a confidence that can’t be bought.
Paul got it. In his letter to the Galatians he wrote:
My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion and I am no longer driven to impress God.
