This struck a cord in me today:
I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man may be nourished... I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it.

Sometimes I fixate on "what my role is" or "how i can be of service." When it's really not about that at all. Those questions are answered in time; I'd be better off pursuing God Himself and his scripture rather than "my purpose."
