How to avoid a wasted life:
“God created me – and you – to live with a single, all-embracing,
all-transforming passion – namely, a passion to glorify God by enjoying and
displaying his supreme excellence in all the spheres of life. Enjoying and
displaying are both crucial. If we try to display the excellence of God without
joy in it, we will display a shell of hypocrisy and create scorn or legalism.
But if we claim to enjoy his excellence and do not display it for others to see
and admire, we deceive ourselves, because the mark of God-enthralled joy is to
overflow and expand by extending itself into the hearts of others. The wasted
life is the life without a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for
the joy of all peoples. -- Don’t Waste Your Life, John Piper
