33 years ago God heard my desperate cries for deliverance, and as I slept he delivered me. I woke up freed from the power of sin and Satan, wanted to start going to church, and began reading the Bible daily. I've listened to Christian teaching on the radio and YouTube, memorized scriptures, gone to Promise Keepers in Detroit and DC, and attended a Bible Study for the last twenty-six years. The teaching in this YouTube helped me see that loving God is the root, and doing stuff is the fruit. The way JP explained the essence of love not being doing, but rather delighting in God, opened the eyes of my heart. The doorway to lasting joy has been cracked open; the tyranny of circumstances has been defeated, now I know how 1 Thessalonians 5:16 - 18 can be true; Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus, for you. <br>Thank You Father for JP and Your leading me to this youTube.

I am a 62 year old widow who literally lost everything and 3 years ago began studying the Word after leaving the Catholic church at the age of 20 and this is the very first time that I felt an understanding to our Father's message. I am in tears and in such awe from this glorious message given by our Father - through this man who is chosen to 'preach' our Father's words to us. John Piper is certainly chosen for I have NEVER heard such truth of spirit come from ANY person as it did from him in this message. I am so moved I can find words. THANK YOU!

What beautiful analogy: spending time with you God God would make me the most happy person in the world, and in turn because he loves me, he'd joyfully commune with me because it makes him glorified when i'm honestly most satisfied in/with him❤
