Easily Pleased

“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 imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.” –C.S. Lewis

Why do we settle for less than God’s best in our lives? Is it because we are scared to believe that we deserve better, or that he has better? Or is it because we want to control every aspect of our lives, and are unwilling to trust that God knows us better than we know ourselves?

I’m convinced that the only way to truly discover who we are is by discovering who God is. When we know who God is, who he’s made us to be, and how he wants to work through us, then we can begin to see and reach our full potential, and ultimately, his best for us.
