Is Understanding Overrated?

The best is perhaps what we understand least.

- C.S. Lewis

Are You Spiritually Aloof?

Whenever we find that our religious life is making us feel that we are good — above all, that we are better than someone else — I think we may be sure that we are being acted on, not by God, but the devil. The real test of being in the presence of God is that, that you either forget about yourself altogether or see yourself as a small, dirty object. It is better to forget about yourself altogether…Pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.

- C.S. Lewis

Does God Get Weary of You and I?

The great thing to remember is that, though our feelings come and go, [God's] love for us does not. It is not wearied by our sins, or our indifference; and therefore, it is quite relentless in its determination that we shall be cured of those sins, at whatever cost to us, at whatever cost to Him.

- C.S. Lewis
