Jack) Lewis Quotes on God (3 Quotes)

The next hour, the next moment, is as much beyond our grasp and as much in God's care, as that a hundred years away. Care for the next minute is just as foolish as care for tomorrow, or for a day in the next thousand years. In neither can we do anything, in both God is doing everything. Those claims only of tomorrow which have to be repeated today are the joy of today the moment which coincides with work to be done, is the moment to be minded the next is nowhere until God has made it. (Clive Staples

It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to. (Clive Staples

Imagine yourself living in a house. God comes to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on. You knew that those jobs needed doing and so you were not surprised. But presently he starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts and does not seem to make sense. What on earth is he up to The explanation is that he is building quite a different house from the one you thought ofthrowing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up the towers, making courtyards. You thought you were going to be made into a decent little cottage but he is building a palace. (Clive Staples
