CS Lewis Quote

Our Sunday School teacher read this quote during our class this morning. We were reading from the New Testament and discussing the need for Christians to show true, genuine, Christ-like love for each other and for our fellowmen. As an admirer of both CS Lewis and good quotes, I just had to share it here with you:

“To love at all 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, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”

-C.S. Lewis
