JONATHAN EDWARDSThe God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider… abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire.

The end of the creation is that the creation might glorify God. Now what is glorifying God, but a rejoicing at that glory he has displayed?
