The fullness of joy is to behold God in everything. God is the ground, the substance, the teaching, the teacher, the purpose, and the reward for which every soul labors.

More on god
God doesn’t want religious duty. He doesn’t want a distracted, half-hearted, ‘Fine, I’ll read a chapter, now are You happy?’ attitude. God wants His word to be a delight to us, so much that we meditate on it day and night.
Francis ChanFrancis Chan While our world is shaking and crumbling, we need to realize that one thing will never change, and that is God. He is the same today as he was ten million years ago, and will be the same ten million years from today.
Billy GrahamBilly Graham We have a God who is a Creator, not a duplicator.
Francis ChanFrancis Chan Only god can bring dry bones back to life.
Marine AshnalikyanMarine Ashnalikyan In our prayers, we talk to God, in our Bible study, God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.
Dwight L. MoodyDwight L. Moody In some ways, Christians are homeless. Our true home is waiting for us, prepared by the Lord Jesus Christ.
Billy GrahamBilly Graham God proved His love on the Cross. When Christ hung, and bled, and died, it was God saying to the world, ‘I love you.’
Billy GrahamBilly Graham Heaven is not here, it’s There. If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next. God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for
