You were called to this, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you should follow in His steps. 1 Peter 2:21

All the nouns—the people, places, and things—I've believed were inseparable from who I was have been strategically targeted by God. Over the years, He has sought to supplant them with Christ alone.
