C.S. Lewis Quote

Here are a few quotes that we read in school and were very blessed by...

"Now God designed the human machine to run on Himself. He Himself is the fuel our spirits were designed to burn, or the food our spirits were designed to feed on. There is no other... God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."

~ C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity


“Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. If you injure someone you dislike, you will find yourself disliking him more.” (p. 131)


Christ says "Give me All. I don't want so much of your time and so much of your money and so much of your work: I want You.” (p. 196)


“Give up your self, and you will find your real self. Lose your life and you will save it. Submit to death, death of your ambitions and favorite wishes every day and death of your whole body in the end: submit with every fiber of your being, and you will find eternal life. Keep back nothing. Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours. Nothing in you that has not died will ever be raised from the dead. Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.” (p. 227)



“Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’: aim at earth and you will get neither.” (p. 134)


I still have alot of videos I want to post, but we'll see when I can get them uploaded :)
