We see indeed, the eye of our body may be fill'd with the sun's brightness, but it is impossible that so narrow a receptacle should perfectly contain such a large glory: So, although the Angels understandings now are, and the Saints hereafter shall be fil'd brimfull with the clear manifestations of Gods eminency and glory, yet that they can fully reach, or perfectly contain the exact, and precise knowledge of it, is an error so gross, that it much more deserveth pity then confutation.A Glimpse of God\'s Glory
On Christ's glory I would fix all my thoughts and desires, and the more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes and I will be more and more crucified to this world. It will become to me like something dead and putrid, impossible for me to enjoy.
Obedience must be sincere. We must aim at God's glory in it. The object of our obedience is not just to stop the mouth of conscience, or to gain applause, but that we might grow more like God.

Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God's glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriad's of ages hence. Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many and how great soever.https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-resolutions-of-jonathan-edwards
God's purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God's glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion.
