Emancipated to be You - The Person God Made You To Be

“The harder a man tries to be himself without being right with God, the less like himself he becomes and the more like everyone else he is. Man was made to have fellowship with God, and man is never himself until he submits to this Divine rule. Not your talent first, or your money, or your time, or your service, but the complete ‘you’ is what God requires – not that He might make you into a slave, but that he might emancipate you.”
- Richard Halverson
