In Psalm 73:25, “Whom have I in heaven but thee, and there is none upon the earth that I desire beside thee.” There is nothing in heaven or earth that can satisfy me, but yourself. If God gave you not only earth but heaven, that you should rule over sun, moon and stars, and have rule over the highest of the sons of men, it would not be enough to satisfy you, unless you had God himself.
Jeremiah Burroughs in The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
May it be true of us that we desire the very presence of God more than his gifts!
