Everlasting Splendor
I came across this quote from C.S. Lewis the other day that affected me and helped me to think about eternal realities more:
It is a serious thing…to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or the other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics…It is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, exploit—immortal horror or everlasting splendors.
This part particularly stuck out to me: All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or the other of these destinations.
Let’s pray and purpose today to help those around us to the destination of “everlasting splendors.”
