Romans 11:36

"For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things...

God planned everything to be centered around Himself.  Is God's self-exaltation an unloving act on His part?

On the contrary.

God is love - 1 John 4:8.

God is holy, holy, holy - Isaiah 6:3.

His ways are blameless - Psalm 18:30.

Therefore, He can do no wrong nor will He ask anything wrong of us.  

God's self-exaltation is wrapped up in His love for us.  Demanding our worship is a most loving act because He created us in such a way that nothing else but seeking after Him, longing for Him, and living for Him will truly satisfy our souls.

...To Him be the glory forever.  Amen."
