c.s. lewis is a genius

“I think that if God forgives us we must forgive ourselves. Otherwise, it is almost like setting up ourselves as a higher tribunal than Him.”
– C.S. Lewis


I never thought about it quite like that before.

    Sometimes we also need forgiveness from other people. Some of these people have no problem setting themselves up as higher than God. It's nice to think we could just ignore these people, but sometimes they are ones close to us or in authority over us...
