Here's another noteworthy statement from Ed Welch's book, "When People are Big and God is Small"
"The
object of God's greatest affections is God himself: the Father, Son,
and Spirit. He wants his glorious holiness to fill the earth.
Therefore, our prayer should be 'Hallowed be your name.' People are most similar to God when he is the object of their affection.
People should delight in God, as he does in himself...Instead of the
image of God in human beings taking the form of a love cup or a hollow
core of longings, the image is more accurately that of Moses literally
reflecting the glory of God (Ex. 34:29-32) like the moon reflecting the
light of the sun..."
We need God. But He was not made for us. We
were made for Him. He did not make us to be little need-cups, but little
mirrors, little moons, facing Him, the radiant Sun of Righteousness,
and reflecting His glory.
And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord,
are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to
another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit. - 2
Corinthians 3:18 ESV
