"God's gift of grace involves the gift of a new heart. New desires. New longings. For the first time, we want God. We see our need for him, and we love him. We seek after him, and we find him, and we discover that he is indeed the great reward for our salvation.... We are saved to know God. So we yearn for him" (p. 39) David Platt - Radical
