Weight of Glory by C.S. Lewis is a beautifully crafted, deeply poetic, meditation on the glory that awaits all Christians in eternity.

Lewis describes glory as God's approval for us, because our deepest pleasure is found in making Him happy. (This is almost the reciprocal side of the WSC, "man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.") Because of Christ, God is infinitely pleased with us. His pleasure--this glory He gives us--climaxes in our oneness with Christ.

There is a beauty and glory shining through our life experiences (a song, a sunset, a movie), teasing us to become a part of it. Right now we cannot. Creation can only taunt us now. One day God's glory will beam through us more gloriously than anything we've ever sensed in the sunset or a song. He will say to us, "Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of my Lord."
