C.S. Lewis on Not Belonging to Myself

I’ve only read C.S. Lewis once or twice in my life. Once in high school, and I think once more in college or seminary. I also read the Chronicles of Narnia as a boy. That’s why I’m excited that I’ve got to read Mere Christianity for one of my last classes in seminary. Here’s a quote from Mr. Quotable Lewis:
If somebody else made me, for his own purposes, then I shall have a lot of duties which I should not have if I simply belonged to myself.
What do you think of that? What makes that true?

I thought I'd posted a follow up comment, but I guess it didn't post! I think that is an appropriate verse, Dad, since hoping in Christ and bringing him glory are the very essence of what we were created for.
