The Grand Canyon Vs. Our Greatness

Recently I completed reading John Piper's "Don't Waste Your Life" here is one of the many quotes I enjoyed from his book...

"The really wonderful moments of joy in this world are not the moments of self-satisfaction, but self-forgetfulness. Standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon and contemplating your own greatness is pathological. At such moments we are made for a magnificent joy that comes from outside ourselves. And each of these rare and precious moments in life – beside the Canyon, before the Alps, under the stars – is an echo of a far greater excellence, namely, the glory of God."
