I sometimes forget how much I love C.S. Lewis. He knew God in a way I hope to.
“[God] is not proud…He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him.”
–The Problem of Pain
“Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done…”
–from a letter “To Mrs. L.”
(my personal favorite)
“If we discover a desire within us that nothing in this world can satisfy, we should begin to wonder if perhaps we were created for another world”
“We want cattle who can finally become food. He wants servants who can finally become sons. We want to suck in, He wants to give out. We are empty and would be filled; He is full and flows over.”
- Screwtape to Wormwood in “The Screwtape Letters”
“In Christianity God is not a static thing–not even a person–but a dynamic, pulsating activity, a life, almost a kind of drama. Almost, if you will not think me irreverent, a kind of dance.”
-Mere Christianity
