I have never quoted anyone else on my blog.
Today, will be that day.
C.S. Lewis wrote the following...
"In our present state you cannot understand eternity. You can understand a likeness of it if you say good and evil, when full-grown, become retrospective. All this earthly past will have been heaven to those who are saved. And all their life on earth will then be seen by the damned to have been hell."
"That is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporal suffering. No future bliss can make up for it, not knowing that heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory. They say of some sinful pleasure, let me have but this and I will take the consequences. Little dreaming how damnation will spread back and back into their past and contaminate the pleasure of their sin."
"Both processes begin even before death. The good man's past begins to change so that his forgiven sins and remembered sorrows take on the quality of heaven, and the bad man's past already conforms to his badness and is filled only with dreariness."
"And that's why at the end of all things, when the sun rises here and the twilight turns to blackness down there, the blessed will say, 'We've never lived anywhere but in heaven.' And the lost will say, 'We were always in hell'...and both will be right."
Be good! Sin is sorrow and will never, EVER bring happiness. Our Savior has provided us a life to live as if we are in heaven! DO NOT PROCRASTINATE THE DAY OF YOUR REPENTANCE.
