For glory means good report with God, acceptance by God, response, acknowledgment, and welcome into the heart of things.
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory: And Other Addresses
But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror
the glory of the Lord
are being changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Lord, Who is the Spirit
For glory means good report with God, acceptance by God, response, acknowledgment, and welcome into the heart of things.

His Masterpieces
How monotonously alike all the great tyrants and conquerors have been: how gloriously different are the saints ~

CS Lewis on the Grace of Humility ~
We must not think Pride is something God forbids because He is offended at it, or that Humility is something He demands as due to His own dignity - as if God Himself was proud. He is not in the least worried about His dignity. The point is, He wants us to know Him: wants to give us Himself.
And we are two things of such a kind that if we really get into any kind of touch with Him we will, in fact, be humble - delightedly humble, feeling the infinite relief of having for once got rid of all the silly nonsense about our own dignity which has made us restless and unhappy all our lives.
He is trying to make us humble in order to make this moment possible: trying to take off a lot of silly, ugly, fancy-dress in which we have all got ourselves up in.
