Human beings carry the unique ability to not merely please God through their existence, but to do so through conscious joy in their Creator. Whenever people seek to live according to the Scripture for the purpose of glorifying the Lord, they effectively send back-or "remanate"- the original "emanations" of God's goodness. To live for God, then is to be a mirror and a conscious actor in the drama of divine magnification.
-from Jonathan Edwards, Lover of God
