Truth

In the previous post C.S. Lewis wrote that seeking truth you may find comfort in the end, whereas if you seek comfort you just find soft soap, wishful thinking and despair.  He also said that in spite of the fact that humans prefer everything else other than God, He still accepts us.

I want to put those two together and say that seeking truth we find comfort in the end because we are seeking God, and in seeking truth we are showing our preference to God.  It is a winning situation for the human who seeks truth, because you find God and in finding God you will find life.

If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair. - C.S. Lewis


[God] is not proud...He will have us even though we have shown that we prefer everything else to Him. - C.S. Lewis    


This is so true.  I can see it so clearly.  Seek truth!


I want to say more, but will leave that for another time.
