Will Lewis
William Lewis or Willie Lewis may refer to:...
pain self perfect
The full acting out of the self's surrender to God therefore demands pain: this action, to be perfect, must be done from the pure will to obey, in the absence, or in the teeth, of inclination
cottages littles palaces
You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage but He is building a palace. He intends to come & live in it Himself
fighting evil trying
We never find out the strength of the evil impulse inside us until we try to fight it.
giving devil faults
The devil loves 'curing' a small fault by giving you a great one.
giving evil joy
If a thing is free to be good it is also free to be bad. And free will is what has made evil possible. Why, then, did God give them free will? Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thing that makes possible any love or goodness or joy worth having.
men law
You cannot make men good by law.
men thinking action
If conversion makes no improvements in a man's outward actions then I think his 'conversion' was largely imaginary.
heart mediocrity break
Something deep in the human heart breaks at the thought of a life of mediocrity.
christian love-you love-is
Love...is not merely a feeling. It is a deep unity, maintained by the will and deliberately strengthened by habit; reinforced by (in Christian marriages) the grace which both partners ask, and receive, from God. They can have this love for each other even at those moments when they do not like each other; as you love yourself even when you do not like yourself.
acquaintance seems
There seems to be hardly any one among my acquaintance from whom I have not learned.
desire world wonder
If we discover a desire within us that nothing in this world can satisfy, also we should begin to wonder if perhaps we were created for another world.
christ offers
Christ offers something for nothing: He even offers everything for nothing.
men past heaven
The good man's past begins to change so that his forgiven sins and remembered sorrows take on the quality of Heaven.
reality add world-literature
Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it.
