11If we consider the unblushing promises of reward
and the staggering nature of the rewards promised
in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds
our desires, not too strong, but too weak.
12We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with
drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is
offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to
go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot
imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday
at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. C.S.
Lewis, The Weight of Glory

surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my
Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I

be found in him Philippians 37-9a
