I have tried to devote my life - with all my husband failures, father failures, pastor failures, friend failures, any other possible failures I'm sure I've done them - to the God-centeredness of God and my aspiring, yearning to join Him in that activity.

John PiperThe main reason God has given us minds is that we might seek out and find all the reasons that exist for treasuring him in all things and above all things.
