"Christ
is the very essence of all delights and pleasures, the very soul and
substance of them. As all the rivers are gathered into the ocean, which
is the meeting-place of all the waters in the world, so Christ is that
ocean in which all true delights and pleasures meet." ~ John Flavel;
"Trace the sunbeam to the sun; Trace the river to the sea; Trace all pleasures to the One Who is Pleasure perfectly."
"God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion." -Jonathan Edwards;
