What do I have a GIVENNESS NOW to?

Being elbowed (by joy).


“For all sorts of mistakes are possible when you are dealing with Him.

Long ago, before we were married, H. was haunted all one morning as she went about her work with the obscure sense of God (so to speak) ‘at her elbow,’ demanding her attention.

And of course, not being a perfected saint, she had the feeling that it would be a question, as it usually is, of some unrepented sin or tedious duty.

At last she gave in - I know how one puts it off - and faced Him.

But the message was, ‘I want to give you something’ and instantly she entered into joy.”  C.S. Lewis, A Grief Observed





…demanding my attention.

I have a GIVENNESS NOW to being elbowed (by joy).
