Ch 2: Desire vs. Delight

I read this sentence, and it is SO true for me. I see this in me and I think about it all the time, and it makes me just sick of myself. Dr. Piper writes:

"We kick ourselves that our cravings for lesser things compete with God as the satisfaction of our souls. ... We know that we have tasted pleasures at his right hand, and that our desires for them are pitifully small compared to their true worth" (28).

I LONG for the day when this will no longer be true of me, when what I know is truly valuable in my mind (God) will match what is actually valuable (God) in my whole being--my emotions and will seamlessly acting in perfect harmony with my mind.

Until then (which will probably only happen at death), I'm still praying for this grace while being SO thankful that God even awoke a taste in me for Him.
