John Piper posted this video on his Facebook page today. I read his book Desiring God years ago but seem to have lost sight of the truth it teaches: God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him.
This video mentions a quote from the book, "treasuring Christ is more important than bearing children."
I was left speechless and totally convicted by the end of this video. I am beyond blessed with an amazing husband, family, friends, job security and health, and yet I sit around and complain that God is unkind for withholding children from us (which is a LIE).
Lord, I don't want to miss the most important reason for living. Christ! He is my ultimate satisfaction.
