Silly Idea

Quote Blue Shadow Logo

A silly idea is current that good people do not know what temptation means. This is an obvious lie. Only those who try to resist temptation know how strong it is… A man who gives in to temptation after five minutes simply does not know what it would have been like an hour later. That is why bad people, in one sense, know very little about badness. They have lived a sheltered life by always giving in.

C S Lewis

What Are We Waiting For?

Quote Blue Shadow Logo

There are fathers waiting until other obligations are less demanding to become acquainted with their sons.Β  There are mothers who sincerely intend to be more attentive to their daughters.Β  There are husbands and wives who are going to be more understanding.Β  But time does not draw people closer.Β  When in the world are we going to begin to live as if we understood that this is life?Β  This is our time, our day…and it is passing.Β  What are we waiting for?

Walk In The Way

Quote 3D Logo

There is only one basis for really enjoying life, and that is, to walk in the way in which God leads you. Then you are prepared to find delight in all sorts of wayward incidents….When a man is drifting through life, seeking nothing outside of self-gratification, the world must become increasingly a barren and forbidding wilderness. But it is wonderful how many delights fall to the lot of him who is led by God. For such a one the clasp of a friend’s hand, a cool drink in the heat of noon, a merry salutation from a passing traveler, a glimpse of beauty by the road, a quiet resting place at night, are all full of unspeakable pleasure.

Time Is Short

Quote 3D Logo

You who are letting miserable misunderstandings run on from year to year, meaning to clear them up some day; you who are keeping wretched quarrels alive because you cannot quite make up your minds that now is the day to sacrifice your pride and kill them; you who are letting your neighbor starve until you hear that he is dying of starvation or letting your friend’s heart ache for a word of appreciation or sympathy, which you mean to give him some day; if you could only know and see and feel all of a sudden that time is short, how it would break the “spell.”Β  How you would go instantly and do the thing which you might never have another chance to do.

God’s Special Work Of Art

Quote 3D Logo

Each one of us is God’s special work of art. Through us, He teaches and inspires, delights and encourages, informs and uplifts all those who view our lives. God, the master artist, is most concerned about expressing Himself- His thoughts and His intentions- through what He paints in our character; He wants to paint a beautiful portrait of His Son in and through your life. A painting like no other in all of time.

In His Hands

Quote Logo

Those who put themselves in His hands will become perfect, as He is perfect- perfect in love, wisdom, joy, beauty, health, and immortality. The change will not be completed in this life, for death is an important part of the treatment. How far the change will have gone before death in any particular Christian is uncertain.

C. S. Lewis

Resentment

Quote Logo

The wordΒ resentmentΒ means to re-feel…to feel again.Β  Someone wrongs or wounds you; in resenting it, you re-feel the injury.Β  And you re-hurt yourself.Β  The Hebrew Talmud says that a person who bears a grudge is “Like one who, having cut one hand while handling a knife, avenges himself by stabbing the other hand.”

Wounds Of The Spirit

Quote Logo

There are wounds of the spirit which never close and are intended in God’s mercy to bring us nearer to Him, and to prevent us leaving Him by their very perpetuity. Such wounds then may almost be taken as a pledge, or at least as a ground for a humble trust, that God will give us the great gift of perseverance to the end. This is how I comfort myself in my own great bereavements.

John Henry Newman

Habits Of The Soul

Quote Logo

Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.Β  For however important chastity (or courage, or truthfulness, or any other virtue) may be, this process trains us in habits of the soul which are more important still.

C. S. Lewis

Seek For No Other Footsteps

Quote Logo

Be guided, only by the healer of the sick, the raiser of the dead, the friend of all who were afflicted and forlorn, the patient Master who shed tears of compassion for our infirmities.Β  We cannot but be right when we put all the rest away, and do everything in remembrance of Him…There can be no confusion in following Him, and seeking for no other footsteps, I am certain!
