“Delighting in God was not a mere preference or option in life; it was our joyful duty and should be the single passion of our lives. Therefore to resolve to maximize his happiness in God was to resolve to show him more glorious than all other sources of happiness. Seeking happiness in God and glorifying God were the same.”
― John Piper

“Therefore every breath we take, every time our heart beats, every day that the sun rises, every moment we see with our eyes or hear with our ears or speak with our mouths or walk with our legs is, for now, a free and undeserved gift to sinners who deserve only judgement.”
― John Piper, Don't Waste Your Life

“It’s not failure if you fail at doing something you’re not supposed to do. It’s success. Because with each success, and with each so-called failure, you’re getting a clearer sense of your calling.”
― John Mark Comer, Garden City: Work, Rest, and the Art of Being Human.

“The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness.”
― John Piper
