Pleasure Ultimately Found Only in God

The world is hell-bent on finding pleasure.  That is why hedonism is the dominant philosophy in every age.  But according to Christian Hedonism, pleasure can ultimately be found only in God.  The pleasures of this world last only for a moment.  They quickly thrill us and then just as quickly dissipate and disappoint.  But the pleasure of being in God's presence and doing God's will and receiving God's blessings lasts forever and ever!
