As most of you know, C.S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors. I recommend all his books for the person that is serious about discovering, cultivating, and strengthening their inner life…in BTL terms, their CORE. Every persons CORE is held together, for better or worse, by what you believe about the BIG questions of life. Your CORE starts with the discovery and strengthening of your WORLDVIEW.
As I was re-reading some Lewis this morning I came across this from his book titled, Mere Christianity. Check it out.
“Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger; well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. Men feel sexual desire: well, there is such a thing as sex. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.”
Do you have something inside of YOU that cries for sooooooooo much MORE?
Have you tried filling your “vacum” with the things of this world?
How’s it going?
I believe, you and I were made for sooooooooo much MORE.
What do you believe?
Why?
What is the basis for your belief?
Are you willing to question your deepest held beliefs?
Have you authored your worldview after much study, learning and applying or did you just inherit one from your parents, your neighbors, your pastors, or your peers?
Slow down, and reflect.
