I also was referring to our ultimate end in the heaven, we have a deep need to be loved and wanted and appreciated to her the Lord say at the end of our life "well done good and faithful servant" Thanks so much for the great comment, I think that there is a lot to discuss here (as you have done with your post today!)<br />Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06780045546555850839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5548629151899796587.post-46321674524037521982012-09-23T10:52:59.861-05:002012-09-23T10:52:59.861-05:00Excellent meditaton, Heidi!

I took that to mean that our root desire really is to be the greatest "me" that I can be, because that is what becoming "fully human" means - becoming fully what God created us to be, his image. And consciously submitting my motives, and my entire will, to the Lord Jesus is very much in accord with the will of the Father.<br /> Thanks, Heidi. -PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
