'The simple pleasures of life are a true blessing. I love that God made us such intricate, complex creatures with a myriad of thoughts, emotions and expressions; in life's simple things, great joy and pleasure can abound. music and art are two such pleasures. Seeing things of beauty is a pleasure. fireworks, for instance. what purpose do they serve, other than to delight the spectators? their beauty, however, is breath-taking and exhilirating and so desirable despite lack of practical purpose.
....
Passion is unattainable unless purpose exists, and though some purposes are of a "higher" or more imperative nature, it is of great importance to pursue pleasure in its rightful purpose. God has called me to live for Him, to worship Him, serve Him and others...
this purpose is of utmost importance. yet as a created being of an extravagant Creator, I am fulfilled also by purposing to enjoy Him.
....
in the same way Jesus yearns for our fellowship, I believe he aches for us to participate in his love by choosing to enjoy his pleasures.'

purpose to enjoy Christ!
purpose in your heart to love him and worship our creative God!
