Puritan quote for the day

Just finished an interesting article on Sandemanianism which was sent to me today by a friend. The article's worth a read. I was quite struck by the quote at the end, by Jonathan Edwards:

"God glorifies himself towards the creatures in two ways: one, by appearing to their understanding, and two, by communicating himself to their hearts and in their rejoicing and delighting in and enjoying the manifestations which he makes of himself. God is glorified not only by his glories being seen, but by its being rejoiced in. When those that see it delight in it, God is more glorified than if they only see it, his glory is then received by the whole soul, both by the understanding and by the heart."

There's something in that, isn't there! :)
