god is not like us

John Piper declares that God isn't grateful - at least not in the sense that we expect it to be expressed. Lk 17.7-10 indicates that the master does not thank the servant when the servant does what is expected. Instead the servant should be grateful to simply be a servant invited to serve at the master's table. I can see how some may construe this to be a negative image but I don't see it. While I believe He is pleased when we honor Him, my attitude is sheer joy just in the ability to serve the Almighty God.
