Jeremiah 1:4

You are a woman of significance with a God-given destiny. He made you on purpose, for purpose, and with purpose! You are not here by accident; you are here by the intentional plans of God for this very moment in history. His preplanning for your unmatched life was thorough, complete, and purposeful. Discover how you were designed in the heart of God for such a time as this!

I’ve discovered something surprising: living for myself is a lot of work. Focusing on how to be the best “me” sounds freeing, but it is actually a crushing weight—because God calls us to know the joy of focusing first on him. I hope this glimpse into my book Free of Me resonates with your own desire to let go of yourself and hold on to God. It’s where we find true freedom!
