Thoughts for the Day

 

 One of C. S. Lewis’s books is called Prince Caspian. In it Lucy sees Aslan, the lion for the first time in years. He has changed since her earlier encounters:

 

         “Aslan,” said Lucy, “your bigger.”

         “that is because you are older, little one, “he answered.

         “Not because you are?”

         “I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.’”

 

In his book “Trade Your Cares for the Calm” Max Lucado reminds us that this is the same in our walk with Christ. “The longer we live in Him, the greater He becomes in us.” It is not that He  changes  but we do  “We see dimensions, aspects, and characteristics we never saw before, increasing and astonishing increments of his purity, power and uniqueness.” Let’s pray that God’s greatness  in us becomes bigger and more apparent each day we live.”

 

“And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.” 

2 Corinthians 3:18
