Jonathan Edwards, The End for Which God Created the World

Infinitely, unchangeably, and independently glorious and happy!  AND he cannot be profited by OR receive anything from, the creature.

Remember this, that God IS happy, all the time… because His will is always accomplished, and His will is always gloriously good.  May we enter into His joy every day even when we do not understand….
