Though we cannot experience our life as an endless present, we are eternal in God's eyes; that is, in our deepest reality.
C. S. LewisIn the same way a Christian is not a man who never goes wrong, but a man is enabled to repent and pick himself up and begin over again after each stumble--because the Christ-life is inside him, repairing him all the time, enabling him to repeat (in some degree) the kind of voluntary death which Christ Himself carried out." - Mere Christianity
C. S. LewisHe who has not forgiven an enemy has never yet tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life.
C. S. LewisAnd in that far distant day when the gods become wholly beautiful, or we at last are shown how beautiful they always were, this will happen more and more. For mortals, as you said, will become more and more jealous. And mother and wife and child and friend will all be in league to keep a soul from being united with the Divine Nature.
C. S. Lewis
