What We Really Want in the Thousands of Things We Want
“O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water” (Psalm 63.1). We may imagine we want a thousand different things, but God is the one we really long for. His presence brings satisfaction; his absence brings thirst and longing. Our longing for heaven is a long for God — a longing that involves not only our inner beings, but our bodies as well. Being with God is the heart and soul of Heaven. Every other heavenly pleasure will derive from and be secondary to his presence. God’s greatest gift to us is, and always will be, himself.
Randy Alcorn, Heaven (Carol Stream, IL: Tyndale, 2004), 171.

God Be Merciful to Me
God Has All of the Honor in Salvation
There’s something inexpressibly pleasing to a justified mind to know that God has all the honor in our salvation, and we have none.
