The further you go in the revealed thoughts of God, the clearer you see that God's aim in creating the world was to display the value of his own glory.

The happiest and holiest children in the world are the children whose fathers succeed in winning both their tender affection and their reverential and loving fear. And they are the children who will come to understand most easily the mystery of the fatherhood of God.
