Every situation, relationship, trial, or blessing belongs to him. None of it belongs to us. We cannot be satisfied with pleasing ourselves in what we say and do, but must ask what would please him. People who approach life this way are ready to serve as God’s instruments of change. They see beyond their own agenda and are motivated by his. They are convinced that there is nothing more worthwhile in life. People who live this way speak the truth to others out of a recognition of their own need and out of thankfulness for the help of God faithfully sends their way.
- Pauld David Tripp, Instruments in the Redeemers Hands, 222.
