Your grace free-flowing

What He Intends,
from Mere Christianity, by C. S. Lewis

The question is not what we intended ourselves to be, but what He intended us to be when He made us. He is the inventor, we are only the machine. He is the painter, we are only the picture....We may be content to remain what we call "ordinary people," but He is determined to carry out a quite different plan. To shrink back from that plan is not humility; it is laziness and cowardice. To submit to it is not conceit or megalomania; it is obedience.


Small Prayers, from Letters to Malcolm,
by C. S. Lewis

And perhaps, as those who do not turn to God in petty trials will have no habit or such resort to help them when the great trials comes, so those who have not learned to ask Him for childish things will have less readiness to ask Him for great ones. We must not be too high-minded. I fancy we may sometimes be deterred from small prayers by a sense of our own dignity rather than of God's.
