We are currently leading our home group through a study called,
The Blazing Center by John Piper. This quote struck me in a unique way:
Why do we watch the world series? Why do we watch gymnastics when the Olympics roll around? Why do we go to the Grand Canyon? Why do we go to the Alps? Why do we go to the ocean? Why do we want to get near bigness and beauty and magnificence and excellence? It’s because that’s what we were made for. We were not made for mirrors. We were made for standing in front of what is infinitely beautiful having it so satisfy us.
-John Piper, quoted in
The Blazing Center, session 2.
