People who are obsessed with God are known as givers, not takers. Obsessed people genuinely think that others matter as much as they do, and they are particularly aware of those who are poor around the world (James 2:14-26).

The point of your life is to point to Him. Whatever you are doing, God wants to be glorified, because this whole thing is His.
