I've been reading C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters, that my sister brought to me, saying 'prepared yourself!'
And indeed i wish i had been prepared for all the things that were presented to me and made me collapsed a little.
Mostly because i always thought i was doing... not so bad with my life and the way i looked at my christianity.
I haven't finish to read it all, because of time and because i want to read it very thoughtfully, i want that every thing that was meant to go right to my mind and heart sticks in it for ever. But i want to share something that made sane when i read it:
"When He talks of their losing their selves, He only means abandoning
the clamour of self-will; once they have done that, He really gives
them back all their personality, and boasts (I am afraid, sincerely)
that when they are wholly His they will be more themselves than ever.
Hence, while He is delighted to see them sacrificing even their
innocent wills to His, He hates to see them drifting away from their
own nature for any other reason."What do you think about that?
(i found the online book
here)
