" Is it right for God to be pleased when others hold him in contempt? Is it fitting that he be joyful when his created beings despise him? Of course not! To the contrary, it’s fitting and proper for God to be displeased when his created beings hold him in contempt. But this means that it’s also fitting and proper for him to be pleased when appropriate love, esteem, and honor are given to him. "
