Boasting

"How than shall Christ not be my only boast! Not only that He bought Yourself for me, O God, but is Himself Your perfect image and the blazing center of Your radiance. What do I have that does not come from Him? What gift of life or breath? What promise ever made did not receive its Yes in Him? What one sweet thing- or hard thing You will soon make sweet- did I receive except by His sacrifice alone. O God, forbid that I should ever boast save in the cross of Christ, my Lord."

~John Piper
