What do I have a GIVENNESS NOW to?

Tempering the wind to the shorn lamb.

“The ‘hiddenness’ of God perhaps presses most painfully on those who are in some way nearest to Him, and therfore God Himself, made man, will of all men be by God most forsaken?

One of the seventeenth century divines says, ‘By pretending to be visible, God could only deceive the world.’

Perhaps He does pretend just a little to simple souls who need a full measure of ‘sensible consolation.’

Not deceiving them, but tempering the wind to the shorn lamb.”  C.S. Lewis, Letters to Malcolm

…where is the wool once worn?

I have a GIVENNESS NOW to tempering the wind to the shorn lamb.
