Be God's

"Many of us want to be 'good,' and Rich [Mullins] believed that being good was a noble pursuit. But the highest pursuit was not to be good, but to be God's. The best thing any of us can be is fully devoted to the God who loves us with a passionate, reckless, furious love."

- James Bryan Smith, An Arrow Pointing to Heaven
