"Don't waste your life trying to look good.
Spend your life making God look good."
--John Piper
Spend your life making God look good."
--John Piper
I've been pondering this quote lately. A life built on self-glorification is a life wasted. A heart bent on personal advancement is missing the whole point. Wasted.
But to make Jesus known in every area of our lives...this is glory! Can people see HIS fingerprints in my life? My conversations? My home? My attitudes?

"Thus says the LORD:
"Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom,
Let not the mighty man glory in his might,
Nor let the rich man glory in his riches;
But let him who glories glory in this,
That he understands and knows Me,
That I am the LORD,
exercising lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness in the earth.
For in these I delight."
says the LORD."
Jer 9:23&24
