Jonathan Edwards wrote some thought provoking words, “It is the spirit of a godly man to prefer God to any earthly enjoyments of which he can imagine.  He not only prefers God to anything he now possesses, he views nothing any other people possess to be as worthy of admiration.  Even if he could have as much worldly prosperity as he desired, the earthly things he could imagine, he values the portion that he has in God incomparably more.  He prefers Christ to earthly kingdoms.”
