"...we must speak, because we must praise you. Silence would shame us, and the rocks would cry out. You must be praised for who you are in the world you have made. And we must thank you because you have made us taste and see the glory of Jesus Christ, your son. Oh, to know him! Saturate our souls with the spirit of Christ and all his greatness. Enlarge our capabilities to be satisfied in all you are for us in him...and grant that we might be transformed by him and become an echo of his excellence in the world."
John Piper, Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ
