If we consider the unblushing promises of rewards promised in the Gospels, 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 (The Weight of Glory)

It is sometimes too unfathomable for our infinite little minds to grasp and comprehend...the majesty of the Almighty and what He wants to give us and do for us and what He has in store for us! Right on, C.S. Lewis!
One day we will finally "get" it...
