So Much More...

Well I am reading this VERY awesome book called The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis and these are some things I learned today.

• “Prosperity knits a man to the the world. He feels that he is finding his place in it, while really it is finding its place in him.”
• We don’t feel at home here on earth because our home ISNT on earth! We were made for so much more than we can understand.
• “Where Virtue is concerned ‘Experience is the mother of illusion.’”
• “…courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point, which means, at the highest reality.”

I don't ever want to forget these things or just push them aside...we're so blind to reality. I just caught a glimpse and now I'm addicted to finding more. There are so many ways to get caught up in this world and all the distractions...but none of this matters. Cars, clothes, houses, shoes, computers, money...nothing nothing nothing matters. It won't last. The simple joys and pleasures of life gets us closer to God because He's the one that gave them to us! Please don't let me go back to who I was. I want to stay in His light and see from this vantage point forever.
