This is from Wild Goose Chase, the collateral reading assignment for my Essential Christianity class. It is an excerpt from Chapter 4, "Eight-Foot Ceilings:
For the past several months, I've had a recurring thought: I don't want to live my life in such a way that the best I can do is the best I can do. Frankly, my best isn't good enough.
When I fail to pray, the best I can do is the best I can do. I forfeit my spiritual potential. But when I pray, the best I can do is no longer the best I can do. The best I can do is the best God can do. And He is able to do immeasurably more than all I can ask or imagine.
Good stuff, huh? I still have a few copies of the book left if you want to read the whole thing.
