The more we let God take us over, the more truly ourselves we become - because He made us. He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. . .It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first begin to have a real personality of my own.   C.S. Lewis I am never more myself than when I allow God to be my eyes, ears, mouth, hands, feet, etc.  I am never more myself than when I let him direct my thoughts and words.  I am never more myself than when I let who he is be who I am.  And the same is true of you.  Did you know that?  Do you believe that?  It's okay if you don't because that doesn't change the truth of it.   When we allow the Creator of our lives and souls to infuse us with the personality he created for us then we are, at those moments, who we really are.  We are the truest us we can be.  When we veer off course from allowing God to infuse us then we becom...

Most people, if they had really learned to look into their own hearts, would know that they do want, and want acutely, something that cannot be had in this world. C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity We are all looking for something.  Something that has meaning, worth, value, inspiration, and purpose for our lives.  Not one of us is exempt from this search.  The results are in and clear.  It's nothing in this world that will answer that quest.  What we each are seeking can only be found outside of this world.  It can only be found in something beyond ourselves.  Lewis knew what he was talking about, he went from searching this world for answers and being left still wondering to searching beyond himself and finding exactly what he was looking for.  The answer is found beyond ourselves.  The answer is found in a Creator who created us.  He is the One with what we seek.  He holds meaning, purpose, value, inspiration, and worth for our ...

I believe in Christ like I believe in the sun - not because I can see it, but by it I can see everything else.   C.S. Lewis Because of Christ in me I have eyes that see what others may not.  I have a heart that feels and beats and breaks in ways other hearts may not.  I have ears that hear what others may not.  I have a mouth that should speak what others may not and shouldn't speak what others do.  (*grin* My mouth is my biggest issue and I'm light years ahead of where I used to be with it!)  I have a mind that processes differently than others may. Because of Christ in me I can see peace on the horizon, hope for the hurting, mercy for the weak, grace for the needy. Because of Christ in me I see my world, and yours, differently. Because of Christ in me I see life through the lens of Love, a kind of Love that the world doesn't understand so I do my best to share that Love with them. Because of Christ in me I see beyond the natural. Because of Christ ...
