Mike Yaconelli does an excellent job of teaching that God wants life for His children rather than for us to be right. He uses the universally observable faith of a child to illustrate that point. As we, especially the educated, responsible and successful pursuers of our cultural dreams, develop an "adult" mind that distinguishes our own definition of right from our own definition of wrong, we are so tempted to serve our own mind instead of God.
