Don’t waste your life – passion to glorify God

Posted June 16th, 2010 in Personal Story, Spirtuality & Christianity by aaron

So I started reading Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper and it’s pretty interesting so far.  One of the points that caught my attention was what he defined as a wasted life.  He says, “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…The wasted life is the life without a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples.”

I found this interesting because it really made me think if I enjoy and display his supreme excellence in all spheres of my life.  I find that I sometimes will display his excellence without enjoying it.  However, the  joy in glorifying him will pour out from within me and display it for others to see.  There are still a lot of parts of my life where I can do a better job in having a passion to glorify God.

As I read more from this book, I plan to share more about what God is teaching me from this book of how to not waste my life.
