Let all your joys flow

A nominal Christian is content with proving the way of salvation by a crucified Redeemer. But the true Christian loves it, delights in it, glories in it, and shudders at the very thought of glorying in anything else.… Let all your joys flow from the contemplation of his cross.

— Charles Simeon, quoted by John Piper in
The Roots of Endurance
