Good and Best...

I know that this is a good thing. But I also know that it is not the best thing. But as the best thing has not crossed my path yet, I am left with the good thing, and the good thing is quite good, really. In fact, the good thing is so good that I have never come across anything as good as this good thing. But I know that the good thing is still not the best thing, which makes me ponder whether my involvement in this good thing is worthwhile. Am I keeping myself from the best thing by distracting myself with the good thing? In that case, would it be a bad thing? Bad in the sense that it is holding me back from my ultimate destination, my "Jerusalem," in the words of Nehemiah, quoted by John Mark, young adults pastor at Solid Rock Church? But compared to everything else in my life right now, the good thing stands out like a red balloon in a gray city. The good thing, like I said, is quite good. Just not the best thing. So where is the line that turns the good into bad?
