This is one of my favorite quotes by C.S. Lewis. I wish I could write words like this. Today the words are speaking to my heart. Here’s to hoping they speak to yours:
"If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered to us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased."
Why did I text my loved ones rather than call? {this one is past tense. I got rid of texting.)
Why do I call rather than visit?
Why do I surf online when I could be fully present with the people around me?
Why do I resort to blogging before mentoring?
Why do I spend 20x the amount of time training physically than I do spiritually?
Why would I rather escape for 2 hours with a movie than read my Bible?
Why do I put on a new outfit/haircut/accessory before I put on the armor of God?
I am such an ignorant child…contently making my mud pies…
