“You cannot love a fellow-creature fully till you love God…No natural feelings are high or low, holy or unholy, in themselves. The are all holy when God’s hand is on the rein. They all go bad when they set up on their own and make themselves false gods.”
C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) in The Great Divorce (San Francisco: Harper Collins, 1973) 100.
On this my 47th birthday, I am thankful for the gift of love from my family and friends. God has surrounded me with people who love me fully because they love God deeply. God’s hand is on the rein of their lives. Among all humankind, I am most richly blessed.
