Our Part of Divine Happiness
Thoughts from C S Lewis From The Promise of Glory
"In the end that Face which is the delight or the terror of the universe must be turned upon each of us, either with one expression or with the other, either conferring glory inexpressible or inflicting shame that can never be cured or disguised...
It is written that we shall 'stand before Him,' shall appear, shall be inspected.
The promise of glory is the promise, almost incredible and possible only by the work of Christ, that some of us, that any of us who really chooses, shall actually survive that examination, shall find approval, shall please God...
To please God -- to be an ingredient in DIvine Happiness...to be loved by God, not merely pitied, but be delighted in as an artist delights in his work, or a father in his son. It seems impossible, but so it is..."
Astonishing truth! We can please God...we can contribute to His Divine Happiness!
