Challenging thought of the day from C.S. Lewis:
Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of 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 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.
What are you too easily please by? What lesser thing do you choose over and above the infinite joy offered to you through Jesus Christ?
Father, help us to settle for nothing less than you.
