fullness of His joy

“You weren’t created for boredom or burnout
or bondage to sexual lust or greed or ambition
but for the incomparable pleasure and matchless joy
that knowing Jesus alone can bring.
Only then, in Him, will you encounter
the life-changing, thirst-quenching, soul-satisfying
delight that God, for His glory,
created you to experience.”
- Sam Storms

“To be in Christ is the source of the Christian’s life;
to be like Christ is the sum of His excellence;
to be with Christ is the fullness of His joy.”
- Charles Hodge
