C.S. Lewis "The problem of Pain"

So I'm reading the book "The problem of Pain" by C.S. Lewis. Here are some things I caught from the book.

"We want, in fact, not so much a Father in Heaven as a grandfather in heaven - a senil benevolence who, as they say, 'liked to see young people enjoying themselves',and whose plan for the universe was simply that it might be truly said at the end of each day, 'a good time was had by all'" ... " It is abundantly clear that I don't and since I have reason to believe, nevertheless, that God is Love I conclude that my conception of love needs correction"

He also mentions how we are made to follow God's will and that in doing so we become more human. More of what we are created to be. We are created to have our energy and our thoughts flowing out of God.

Anyways I like the book but it is a difficult read. I find myself getting tired each time I open the book but want to read more.

God bless.
God fill you with energy and thoughts
God heal our bodies
God heal our minds
and draw us closer to you.
