the truest thing about you

here's a little food for thought from sacred rhythms: arranging our lives for spiritual transformation by ruth haley barton:

"your desire for more of God than you have right now, your longing for love, your need for deeper levels of spiritual transformation than you have experienced so far is the truest thing about you. you might think that your woundedness or your sinfulness is the truest thing about you or that your giftedness or your personality type or your job title or your identity as husband or wife, mother or father, somehow defines you. but in reality, it is your desire for God and your capacity to reach for more of God than you have right now that is the deepest essence of who you are."

what would my life look like if i lived as if that were true?
