“If we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot understand what is meant by an offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. Some things carry their own reward. The reward for love is enjoying the beloved. If we take money for love, we know this is wrong. But if we enjoy the proper reward, this is fitting.”—C.S. Lewis
