Self-Exaltation

"God is the one Being in all the universe for whom seeking his own praise is the ultimately loving act. For him, self-exaltation is the highest virtue. When he does all things "for the praise of his glory," he preserves for us and offers us the only thing in the world which can satisfy our longings. God is for us! And the foundation of that love is that God has been, is now, and always will be, for himself."

John Piper, Desiring God, p. 49.
