"From what has been said, it appears that the pleasure God hath in those things which have been mentioned is rather a pleasure in diffusing and communicating to, than in receiving from, the creature. Surely, it is no argument of indigence [i.e. deprivation, poverty] in God that he is inclined to communicate of his infinite fullness.
It is no argument of the emptiness or deficiency of a fountain that it is inclined to overflow."
p. 165 The End for Which God Created the World by Jonathan Edwards within the book of God's Passion For His Glory written by John Piper
