"Where are you going with your life?  Whose plan are you following? Whose dream shapes the decisions that you make and the actions that you take?  Who sets the agenda for a given day, week, month, or year?  If you could accomplish your plan, what would your life look like?  ... Christ calls us to the death of self-rule.  He calls us to submit all that we do to his purpose for our lives.  As his children, no longer are we to live as little self-lords, exercising sovereignty over our own lives.  No, we are called to something bigger than anything we would plan for ourselves.  Everything we think, desire, say, and do must fit within the new identity we have been given.  We have been chosen and called to be followers.  That means we no longer live with a master mentality..."Paul Tripp, A Quest for More, p. 115
