Our Joy

"The joy of which C.S. Lewis speaks is not the joy of fulfilment or satisfaction but rather the joy of unfulfilment - the glimpse of something far off. One writer describes it as 'news from a country we have never visited'. This might sound strange, but even Christians are never perfectly satisfied in this world. We are satisfied with an unsatisfied satisfaction. We are in this world as exiles and all our senses cry out, 'This is not your home.' And strangely, we are glad." - Selwyn Hughes
