The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God." ~ Mere Christianity, By C. S. Lewis

when pain is to be born, a little courage helps more than much knowledge, a little human sympathy more than much courage, and the least tincture of the love of God more than all.

If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.

The very nature of Joy makes nonsense of our common distinction between having and wanting.

It seems to me that we often, almost sulkily, reject the good that God offers us because, at that moment, we expected some other good.

Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him.

It is easy to acknowledge, but almost impossible to realize for long, that we are mirrors whose brightness, if we are bright, is wholly derived from the sun that shines upon us.
