Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

—Psalm 37:4 (NIV)

“The delights and pleasures of the will in the things of the world, in comparison with God’s delights, are supreme affliction, torment, and bitterness. One who sets his heart on them is considered in God’s sight as worthy of supreme affliction, torment, and bitterness. He will be unable to gain the delights of embracing union with God…. The soul that loves and possesses creature wealth is supremely poor and wretched in God’s sight, and for that reason will be unable to gain the wealth and glory that is the state of transformation in God.” —St. John of the Cross

Am I being transformed in You, Lord? How will I know?
