Back in the Saddle with a Question

After another month long absence since my "sorry for the absence" post (ironic isn't it), I am ready to ruminate further. My schooling is now in full swing and I am getting into the reading. As my inquisitive mind thinks upon the books I am reading, I will post questions on the blog for your consideration.

First off is this: John Piper in his books Desiring God and Brother, We are NOT Professionals mentions an idea called "Christian Hedonism", in which he makes this statement:

"God's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy His glory forever." and "God loves His glory more than He loves us, and this is the foundation of His love for us."

What do you think of these statements? Do they comfort you or infuriate you? I will discuss this more deeply in the comments as I get the responses.
