The Weight of Glory

This article talked about glory. When people think of the word glory, they think about themselves being praised by other people, being famous, and being like a shining star among those people. However, C.S. Lewis mentions that we, as Christians, have to think of glory in a different way. The fame that we have to care about is the 'fame with God, approval or appreciation by God.' How God thinks of us is so much more important than what other people think of us. We, then, have to work hard and try our best to satisfy God by what we do in our lives instead of trying to satisfy other people.
There is a quote from this article that I do want to talk about: "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 imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased." I think this quote talks so much about our sinful nature and our stupidity. If we only believe in God, we will be able to live forever in Heaven. There should be no other gift that could surpass this one. However, we keep forgetting it. As it was written in the article, the definition of Heaven is outside our experience. We don't know how it is. That's why we keep forgetting about it and falling in temptations because we have experienced those stuffs in earth and had pleased us somehow. We are too stupid that traded Heaven to earthly pleasures. We are too stupid that we forgot that Heaven is so much better than any of those earthly pleasures. That is why we have to keep remembering that we are here to please God and that we are here to receive approval from God. We have to remember that, "the following Him is, of course, the essential point."
