Love spending time with God and having Him give me revelation on things. From Desiring God by John Piper: In conversion we find the hidden Treasure of the kingdom of God. We venture all on it. And year after year in the struggles of life, we prove the value of the treasure again and again, and we discover depths of riches we had never known. And so the joy of faith grows. When Christ calls us to a new act of obedience that will cost us some temporal pleasure, we call to mind the surpassing value of following Him, and by faith in His proven worth, we forsake the worldly pleasure. The result? More joy! More faith! Deeper than before. And so we go on from joy to joy and faith to faith. God has shown me why I have been able to grow so much in the pleasure of His presence, simply because of obedience to give up worldly things and step out in faith so many times! Im so grateful that God had granted this gift to increasingly have a passion for the pleasure of His presence. Obedience leads to faith which leads to joy!!
