There is But One Good

“There is but one good; that is God. Everything else is good when it looks to Him and bad when it turns from Him.”
C.S. Lewis in The Great Divorce (1945)

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) was brilliant at saying things in ways that make sense and challenge our thoughts. The thought expressed in the previous quote is one which flows through much of my writing and is particularly evident in the novel I have written. To some who read this blog, God is someone that they have come to know and are beginning to understand. To other readers, God is a concept to which they find their minds returning again and again. Still others would say they can no longer believe in a God of any sort. Most of us believe in “good;” and “good” directs us toward something. The question that remains for each of us relates to the direction in which we are pointed. Does “good” point us toward humanity; the universe; or to God? May our hearts and minds lead us to the truth.
