Using every unfulfilled desire as a means to delight in Jesus
Desiring God more than getting out of my circumstances
Guidance, motivation, and power to seek only God‘s kingdom
Rejoicing in being raised from the deadness of my sins and transgressions
Delighting in God by not giving my body as much as it craves

Results that could only be accomplished by God through my human effort

The knowledge of God that produces love rather than arrogance
