a big life principle

Eugene Peterson writes in commentary on 2 Corinthians 6:11-13:

When I center my life on myself, my freedom diminishes and the life I live in constricted, anxious, fenced in.  But when I set God at the center of my life, I realize vast freedoms and spontaneities in an open and expansive existence.

Me = small and insignificant life

Jesus + Others = big and significant life
