I think you are exactly right. Not, of course, that it is not in some sense 'for us', but to let that 'for us' eclipse the fact that it is God acting, for God's name, in a much larger movement than just 'for us', is idolatry. God is indeed the centre, not us, and that allows us to take our proper places in the creation. Thanks again for this post, and your blog as a whole! Thank you for this.
