                                Flying Horses and Other New Creatures

                                                                                         --  C S Lewis

"God became man to turn creatures into sons, not simply to produce better men of the old kind but to produce a new kind of man.

It is not like teaching a horse to jump better and better, but like turning a horse into a winged creature.

Of course, once it gets its wings, it will soar over fences which could have never been jumped before and thus beat the natural horse at its own game.

But there may be a period, while the wings are just beginning to grow, when it cannot do so, and at that stage the bumps on the shoulders -- no one could tell by looking at them that they were going to be wings -- may even give it an awkward appearance."

This how C S Lewis describes that God is making us into special creatures.

We used to say, "Please be patient with me, God is not finished with me yet!"

It's true! We must be patient with each other...we are still a work in progress...and we are destined for much greater things! 

All of us!
