“When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies
on His side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to
find Him. And, in fact, He shows much more of Himself to some people than to
others—not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to
show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong
condition. Just as sunlight, though it has no favourites, cannot be reflected
in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one.” — C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (1952)Sunday, July 30, 2017
