God Centered

Why is it important to be stunned by the God-centeredness of God? Because many people are willing to be God-centered as long as they feel that God is man-centered. It is a subtle danger. We may think we are centering our lives on God, when we are really making Him a means to self-esteem. Over against this danger I urge you to ponder the implications, brother, that God loves His glory more than He loves us and that this is the foundation of His love for us.

John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals, pg. 6-7
