beholding glory

"The sun of God's glory was made to shine at the center of the solar system of  our soul. And when it does, all the planets of our life are held in their proper orbit. But when the sun is displaced, everything flies apart. The healing of the soul begins by restoring the glory of god to its flaming, all-attracting place at the center... 

... there is greater healing for the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self."

 taken from Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ by John Piper
