Enlarging my Territory

C.S, Lewis born on this date, 1898
Theologian, Scholar, Author, The Chronicles of Narnia
“To love is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one. Avoid all entanglements. But the only true place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from the dangers of love is Hell.” – C.S. Lewis
Affirmative prayer: "Today, as usual, I love selectively. I do not pretend to unconditionally love everyone and everything in my life. But I do make this bold move: to wholeheartedly love one person, or one landscape, or one cause. I love this one perfect image of the Divine completely, and I allow the possibility that this devotion may inspire me to enlarge my territory, that I may become more Spirit-like in my loving, in my living. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.” – Rev. Scott
