Resolved, that I will live so, s I shall wish I had done when I come to die...Therefore to resolve to maximize his happiness in God was to resolve to show him more glorious than all other sources of happiness. Seeking happiness in God and glorifying god were the same..."The godly are designed for unknown and inconceivable happiness...This glory of God, therefore [consists] in the creature's admiring and rejoicing [and] exulting in the manifestation of his beauty and excellency...So we see it comes to this at last: that the end of the creation is that God may communicate happiness to the creature; for if God created the world that he may be glorified in the creature, he created it that they might rejoice in his glory: for we have shown that they are the same.
John Piper/Jonathon Edwards
