A little inspirational nugget for a Monday

I'm (slowly) reading C.S. Lewis's 'The Four Loves', courtesy of my friend Gina. It's obvious that every word he writes in this book is so thoughtfully written that I have to take special care with my reading so I can absorb it all, not just simply skim. There's one small paragraph that I like to read over and over because it rejuvinates my faith so completely everytime I read it. So I thought I'd share it with you!

"But in the long run it is perhaps even more apparent in our growing - for it ought to be growing - awareness that our whole being by its very nature is one vast need; incomplete, preparatory, empty yet cluttered, crying out for Him who can untie things that are now knotted together and tie up things that are still dangling loose."

I hope this finds a little section of your hearts this Monday morning and gives it a little burst of spiritual energy (in the "enthusiasm for God" sense, rather than the "fung shui arrangement of furniture" sense) in knowing that we are loved by "Him who can untie things that are now knotted together and tie up things that are still dangling loose."
