this one is for my friends.

I follow John Piper's blog.
Yesterday the post was titled, "How do I help my friends stay satisfied in God?" Since friends and family follow my blog I wanted to share what he had to say.
Pastor John recently tweeted, "Christian relationships have this as their goal: to help each other stay satisfied in God. To learn more about how this gets worked out in practice, we asked him. In part, he said this: 
It comes down to whether we taste and see that the Lord is good. I have said this to the church and I have said to pastors, and I have said to my wife. What I want from you, Noël, what I want from my staff, is for them to be happy in Jesus. The greatest ministry you can have to me is for you to enjoy Christ. And so I think when we turn that around and say, “Now how can I be the greatest blessing to the people around me?” The answer is: Get up in the morning. Go to the Word of God and, like George Mueller said, "Get your heart happy in God before you meet other people."

Words from a wise follower of Christ.

Happy Monday y'all.
