For God's Glory.

God created all things for his glory. This is declared in different ways over and over again in his holy word. All that came from him, all creations, all laws governing these creations, all spiritual and material beings, were all for his glory. In his infinite design every atom of substance in every part of the universe would reflect the glory of Him who was the Creator and center of all. But this is not selfish; it cannot be selfish; for love is unselfish. Love always goes out from the heart which possesses it to those outside. It seeks not its own, but others' good. Therefore God's glory is his goodness, and what makes for that glory makes for the highest good and happiness of all his creation.
