Letting go of the need to perform for God sets our hearts on things above and turns our backs on self-importance. Instead of trying to have an accomplishment-driven relationship with God, enjoying God's presence points us toward:
- resting instead of productivity,
- being silent instead of talking,
- listening instead of giving advice,
- empowering others instead of preaching to them,
- asking questions instead of knowing answers,
- giving instead of consuming,
- striving for brokenness instead of upward mobility, and
- gearing down to simplicity instead of gearing up to empire building.
