"(With a full understanding that our identity is in Christ and not in self) much of the emotional suffering caused by our addictive desires is healed. We can begin to drop all of our manipulative games - the money game, the security game, the male-female game, the power game, the knowledge game, the expert game, and so on. We can present ourselves simply to others: 'Here I am. It's all I've got.' In humble self awareness and sovereign freedom we can truly be for others without fear of rejection or concern for their usefulness to us."
- Brennan Manning in The Importance of Being Foolish (p.131)
