"The love of God for sinners is not his making much of them, but his graciously freeing and empowering them to enjoy making much of him." (Piper GPFHG 35)
"True saints have their minds, in the first place, inexpressibly pleased and delighted with ... the things of God. But the dependence of the affections of hypocrites in in a contrary order: they first rejoice ... that they are made so much of by God; and then on that ground, he seems in a sort, lovely to them." (Jonathon Edwards GPFHG 35)
Evan:
Do we love God as God or do we love Him as the one who "cares so much about ME"?
Do we see His infinite beauty or do we think we are beautifully and, so, he makes much of us?
