I was reading this today, and I had to share it with you! This is an excerpt by John Piper in a book written to pastors entitled Brothers, We are NOT Professionals! . . .
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, brothers, that God loves His glory more than He loves us and that this is the foundation of His love for us.
May God stir your heart to worship Him and Him alone today . . . just as He deserves!
