I love Jesus

Good stuff from John Piper - showing (or rather telling) what it looks like to love Jesus:
After declaring, "I love Jesus" Piper shares...
And as I say it, I want to make clear what I mean:

* I admire Jesus Christ more than any other human or angelic being.

* I enjoy his ways and his words more than I enjoy the ways and words of anyone else.

* I want his approval more than I want the approval of anyone else.

* I want to be with him more than I want to be with anyone else.

* I feel more grateful to him for what he has done for me than I do to anyone else.

* I trust his words more fully than I trust what anyone else says.

* I am more glad in his exaltation than in the exaltation of anyone else, including me.
