Desiring God
There's been something amazing about the last few days, I've been reading a bunch of random Piper articles as well as Augustine's Confessions and i'm blown away by it. The whole concept of knowing God and desiring him above everything else in the world just floors me. I can't imagine having a relationship with God on the level of Piper's or Augustine's, and yet I'm sure they both would say the same thing in regards to one of their heroes.
There is just something incredible about having the privilege of 1) existing in an intimate, beautiful relationship with the ground of all being and 2) following in the footsteps of giants of the past as you exist in that intimate relationship. The only thought that amazes me more than following in the footsteps of Piper, Augustine, Edwards, or Lewis is the thought of what it is I'm following.
