C.S. Lewis Quotes

I have been thinking on a few of C.S. Lewis quotes this week. I have often found that at times in my desire to know God more deeply he has used the words of men like C.S. Lewis to help me take one step closer to knowing Him as my Abba.

"To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you."

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important."

"I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain."
