Greetings Dear @deeanndmathews ,
What a lovely, meaningful, well-written comment....Thank you so much.
C.S. Lewis is a favourite...In an interview...he once said..."I see people in two categories....Saved and Unsaved.' (paraphrased) A comment that has never left me.
You have reminded me of the phrase...'Get ahead of the Wave.'
Your response to the post....So true...and well said.
Yes...I trust Him...God knows best. Psalm 23.
Kindest Regards,
Bleujay
The Great Divorce is something else I read way, way, way too young to understand what C.S. Lewis was saying then ... but eventually, those two categories will be all that is left, and he also wrote in different ways in the last books in the Narnia set and Space Trilogy that if you pay attention, you would see over time that more and more and more separation is already occurring and even that in history, things that once could be excused as thought of as working together cannot any more (echoing the Apostle Paul, Who said in Acts 17 that "in times past, God overlooked the ignorance of men, but now He commands men everywhere to repent").
"Get Ahead of the Wave" comes up a lot ... investing ... marketing ... planning all kinds of things ... summer and winter, springtime and harvest ... we get to know how to work these things until "every valley shall be exalted, and every rough place made plain" and until "there shall be no night there, for the Lamb is the light of it." Your principle touches a lot of things!
