The First Gleam of Heaven - C S Lewis

                                        The First Gleam of Heaven - C S Lewis

Good advice from C S Lewis:

"To trust Him means, of course, trying  to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you wouldn't take his advice.

Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him.

But trying in a new way, a  less worried way.

Not doing those things in order to be saved, but because God has begun to  save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions,  but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first gleam of heaven is already inside you."
