"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him"

 
John Piper and Desiring God Ministries have been very helpful to me over the years while growing in Christ. That the material is freely given is exceptional and for that I am thankful for. The following statement is one which the ministry of John Piper has been clearly associated with and I pray you enjoy reading Pipers answer to the question.

How is the statement "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him" true for those who won't be saved? 

When I say "God is most glorified in us" I mean: if your aim is to glorify God, you will do it most by being satisfied in him.
Now this question raises something that I'm not answering, namely, What if you don't give a rip about glorifying God and you plan to go to hell and be an unbeliever and an atheist to the end? In that case "God is most glorified in you when you are most satisfied in him" doesn't even work. It doesn't even have a bearing on that person. Since they're not satisfied in God at all, then he is not glorified in their being satisfied in him.
