I think He made one law of that kind in order that there might be obedience. In all these other matters what you call obeying Him is but doing what seems good in your own eyes also. Is love content with that?

C.s. Lewis
About This Quote

“Some persons take a delight in having a knowledge of God, but it is only a partial knowledge. It is not the love of God that has made them seek Him, but their own curiosity or what they call their reason. How can the love of God be satisfied with such a knowledge?” In general, we can take comfort in knowing that God loves us and is in complete control. We do not have to worry about what we need to do in order to be in a good relationship with God.

God created us in His image so He knows how to take care of us. Ultimately, all we have to do is trust in our Heavenly Father and allow Him to heal our emotional wounds and be our guide in life. In doing so, we will learn to know the true meaning of love and how it will guide us through life's problems.
