More in the morning romance, this from D. A. Carson.
To think that rebellious, self-centered mortals become children of God, increasingly mirroring his character, and one day enjoying the unclouded bliss of a perfect existence in the presence of the Triune God--this could not possibly be the fruit of our own endeavors. Rather, Christ is glorified, he receives the praise that is his due, as we are glorified, as we are conformed to his likeness. On the last day, Jesus Christ will be glorified in us on account of what we have become by his grace, and we will be glorified in him on account of what he has done for us.
From A Call to Spiritual Reformation, Baker, 1992, p. 59.

A truth I fall woefully short of grasping even an iota of. What a kind G-d!
