The Danger of Goal-Seeking

Jack Miller in one of his soul-nourishing letters writes about the danger of being goal-driven in life:

"However, there is a danger in this goal-seeking. We must remember that the process of reaching the goals is at least as important as the goals themselves. In that process we are called by the Spirit to walk in intimacy with Christ, to enjoy Him and His people. I think this fellowship also includes enjoying the common things of life--really seeing the world like the simple thing of a human friendship, a good relationship with a parent, and even something as ordinary as enjoying a ballgame. I think it also includes building a good relationship with your children."
