Lewis draws us into the story, and before we realize it he has told us about our own hearts! And, yes, you are so right, those layers do take time to be peeled away. Even in that process God's Grace is so gentle to us, and draws us into new places of intimacy with Him. I am so grateful for your visit here today, Dear Friend! Your words mean so much to me! Blessings and Hugs and Love to you! xoBettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-18697770936383855512017-02-25T15:21:46.666-08:002017-02-25T15:21:46.666-08:00Dear Bettie, the more you share of this book the m...Dear Bettie, the more you share of this book the more intrigued I become. Definitely one for the wish list, especially as I am already a fan of C.S Lewis!<br />Talking about an unveiling reminds me of the masks we wear, often unthinkingly, or unawares. Yet because the veil which previously separated us from God was torn at Jesus' death, it suggests God also wants us to be our authentic, unveiled selves before Him. Layers take time to be peeled away but we can learn to grow more each day into the fullness of who we were always meant to be, and into closer likeness to Christ.<br />This book is certainly helping to unveil deep reflective thoughts in you, my friend! Thank you for your vulnerable heart sharing. Blessings and love! xo ��Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-44525697210494492202017-02-25T08:45:22.803-08:002017-02-25T08:45:22.803-08:00Dear Gayl, I'm so glad that you have found a r...Dear Gayl, I'm so glad that you have found a resting place here in these musings!

I think I have it somewhere in the house, and you've given me inspiration to find it and read it. May you continue to be blessed as you read on in the book and keep sharing your inspiring thoughts. <br />"In my place of pain and weakness,<br />will I let Him speak words of beauty <br />over me?"<br />Oh I pray that will be true for all of us.

And I too looked on Orual's longing for something more with a sad sympathy. But you are right--her soldiering on did not help her hardened heart to find any relief. I am so grateful that our Lord is here to unveil those hard places that creep into my heart, and that He has been using this book study as part of the process. May He bless you for putting so much of your own heart into the discussion and posts where we all can join in!BettieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184677704960428160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4123043706114460279.post-41012482977426413402017-02-24T03:01:05.116-08:002017-02-24T03:01:05.116-08:00I'm finding that I have so much sympathy with ...I'm finding that I have so much sympathy with Orual's complaint about the "round and round" of her tasks. Does it ever seem that way to you, Bettie, that one meal follows another -- and the dishes thereof -- and that children wear clothes and we wash them only to find them dirty again. If there were no God in the heavens to give it all meaning and to call me to a higher understanding of life, I would not survive, and so I guess I have a sad kind of respect for the way the Orual soldiered on in spite of it all. But at what cost to her heart? I'm thankful that in these final chapters she is taking off the veil, asking some questions, and looking at the hard truth she has avoided all her adult life.Michele Morinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814119096056835884noreply@blogger.com
