The Sum of All Goods

The sum of all our goods, and our perfect good, is God. We must not fall short of this, nor seek anything beyond it; the first is dangerous, the other impossible.

- Augustine
Just think about those words for a while. Do you seek God as your perfect good or do you substitute lesser goods (or evils) for the greatest Good?
And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone.
(Mark 10:18 ESV)
