...too easily pleased


"It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased"

C.S. Lewis

All of our human passion cant even scrape the surface of experiencing what God is able to give us. He is beyond our intake - our limited understanding, yet we continue with the desire to "know" who He is...  buckle up because its going to take an eternal life to find out.

recently I asked God the question "how do I truly understand your love?" Not the love you give inside of me and others But your uncreated love that abides purely in you. How do I as a 19 yr old girl, living in the 21st century, and with my lack of understanding "get" God's love. 
That is my prayer right now. 
All i can say is so far what God is beginning to reveal to me is that first it is something that can't be described in words it is an experience (like driving fast i could explain it to you but you won't truly understand 'till you experience it) 
"God I want to experience your love so that I can scratch the surface of understanding you ...for not today or tomorrow but eternity)
