“The problem of reconciling human suffering with the existence of a God who loves, is only insoluble so long as we attach a trivial meaning to the word “love”, and look on things as if man were the center of them. Man is not the center. God does not exist for the sake of man. Man does not exist for his own sake. “Thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” We were made not primarily that we may love God (though we were made for that too) but that God may love us, that we may become objects in which the divine love may rest “well pleased”.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain
I found this quote on Lil Blue Boo, one of my favorite websites. She went through cancer two years ago and really impressed me with her attitude throughout the long, arduous process. What a great reminder if I think about me all the time---I'm totally missing the point! I hope God is well pleased right now with our interactions with all these ICU nurses! Pray that we can be a great testimony.
