This quote by C.S. Lewis really struck me. So often I settle for good or OK but not great. It is so easy to fall into the trap of this world and all it has to offer and miss the point completely. I long to not be so easily pleased. I desire to know my God more and more every day and make more of Him and less of me.
“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.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses
