Christ is glorified in you when he is more precious to you than all that life can give or death can take.

We can say that true gratitude does not give rise to the debtor's ethic because it gives rise to faith in future grace. With true gratitude there is such a delight in the worth of God's past grace, that we are driven on to experience more and more of it in the future...it is done by transforming gratitude into faith as it turns from contemplating the pleasures of past grace and starts contemplating the promises of the future.

Paradise will not be a hall of mirrors, it will be a display of majesty, and it won't be ours

When GOD is our deepest pleasure we display Him as our highest treasure.

Put your ear to the ground of God's word and listen to the rumble of His faithfulness coming.

My mother, who grew up in Pennsylvania, literally washed my mouth out with soap once for saying, 'Shut up!' to my sister. She would have washed my mouth out with gasoline if she knew how foul my mouth was racially when she wasn't around.

God aims to look valuable in the world, and that happens when we treasure him above all else.
