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
