The video below is a message I gave last Monday in chapel at Westmont College. It is a rethinking of an old idea. I used to ask, How is it loving for God to make so much of himself and do everything for his glory? Now I ask: Why does God reveal his love for us in such a way that it turns out to be for his glory?
Or: I used to say: Do you feel more loved when God makes much of you or when he frees you to enjoy making much of him? Now I say, "Why does God make so much of us in a way that winds up making much of him?"
It may not sound very different. But I think many will feel a significant shift. See if it helps.
