“Is it any wonder that the joy of salvation is felt so little, when the humility in which Christ found joy and brings it to us, is so rarely desired? Until a humility which will rest in nothing less than the end and death of self; which gives up all the honor of men as Jesus did, to seek the honor that comes from God alone; which absolutely makes and counts itself nothing, that God may be all, that the Lord alone may be exalted, until such a humility is what we seek in Christ above our most important joy, and welcome at any price, there is very little hope of a religion that will conquer the world.

“That’s the thing about the frame we use to look at the world. It is actually stronger than life experience because it is mindful, positioned, owned, established, and deeply held.

“What does not satisfy when we find it, was not the thing we were desiring.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Pilgrim's Regress
