"Cheryl,
I want you to truly know me.
I want to give you spiritual power, resurrection sort of power.
This will mean you have to let go of quite a bit, especially those things you regard as success. But you won't be sorry because you'll bask in the surpassing richness of knowing me as you're all in all.
You'll need to lay aside certain things that look good (and you'll see how silly it was to hold on to them) so that you can gain more of me and make me your own. It will gradually become clear to you and others that you are mine---not because you do good things---but because you radiate a self-forgetful unassuming goodness that can come only from me."
--Philippians 3:7-10
