Introspection and Life

  We sometimes wake up one morning feeling empty, unfulfilled, even if all seems right in the world. We then try to fill that void with whatever we may find -  food, music, friendships, dreams, hobbies, and discover that the only real thing that makes us happy are relationships with people. But even when we find ourselves loved and treasured by the people around us, why do we still empty and unfulfilled in the end?

  ‘Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.’

  Only perfect love can fill that hole. 

celebrityministry: Yes!! Stop holding grudges or attempting to minimize one sin over the other…its sin and the wages of all sin is death! Forgive! Furthermore, forget, just like God tossed your sin into the sea of forgetfulness! Cause if you don’t it will always come up..even when the situation is about something else!

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken.

Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.

(via therideronawhitehorse)

Affection is responsible for nine-tenths of whatever solid and durable happiness there is in our lives.

—C.S. Lewis (via captainnimo)

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art…. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.

—CS Lewis, The Four Loves (via bookquotesbook)

(via bookquotesbook)

The doctrine of the Fall… is the only satisfactory explanation. Evil begins, in a universe were all was good, from free will, which was permitted because it makes possible the greatest good of all. The corruption of the first sinner consists not in choosing some evil thing… but in preferring a lesser good (himself) before a greater (God).

The Fall is, in fact, Pride.

The possibility of this wrong preference is inherent in the very fact of having, or being, a self at all. But though freedom is real it is not infinite. Every choice reduces a little ones freedom to choose the next time.
