Here is a quote from one of my (Adam) favorite Puritans, Stephen Charnock. In his book, The Existence and Attributes of God. He writes about before creation, God was happy and wouldn't have lost anything if He never decided to create anything. God didn't make us because He was sad or lonely or lacked anything. Do you see God this way?
"He was gracious, merciful, just in His own nature, and also holy, though no creature had been framed by Him to exercise His grace, mercy, justice, or holiness upon. If God had not created a world, He had in his own nature been almighty and able to create a world. If there never had been anything but Himself, yet He had been omniscient, knowing everything that was within the verge and compass of His infinite power; so He was pure in his own nature, though He never had brought forth any rational creature whereby to manifest this purity."
