"God has not been trying an experiment on my faith or love in order to find their quality. He knew it already. It was I who didn't. In this trial he makes us occupy the dock, the witness box, and the bench all at once. He always knew that my temple was a house of cards. His only way of making me realize the fact was to knock it down."
-From A Grief Observed by C.S. Lewis
A Grief Observed is probably his most depressing book. I don't know if you're reading it now, but oh boy...It'll tug on your heart strings. It did mine!
ReplyDeleteYes, I read it a few months ago. It was very sad, but for some reason this is the part that has stuck to me the most.
