It was so exciting to read in my early (or maybe even slightly pre) Christian life that such pure joy can be found in God and that being a Christian does not equal a boring life. Hi Daniel,

I often go back to read Desiring God (or at least bits of it) to remind myself just what you have said in your comment. It was so exciting to read in my early (or maybe even slightly pre) Christian life that such pure joy can be found in God and that being a Christian does not equal a boring life.

It is both encouraging and challenging (like every good read should be!). As is usual for his writings, John Piper challenges us to find our joy IN God, not in things of this world. It's not wrong for us to be happy with the blessings that God has given us, but our supreme joy should be in the supreme God. We should worship the Giver of all of our gifts, not the gifts themselves. May we indeed "delight in the Lord" (Psalm 37:4) above all else! To quote Piper, "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him." So, let us get on with being "most satisfied in Him!"
