Quotable

     B.J. and I were listening to Ravi (www.rzim.com) this morning when he quoted the “inimitable” C.S. Lewis, on the topic of prayer.  Lewis’s accusers contended that prayer was a monologue, not a dialogue, as Lewis maintained, and that he was only imagining God’s presence.   Lewis pondered their remarks and then responded:

They tell me, Lord, that when I pray only one voice is heard -
that You’re not there, that I’m dreaming,
and this whole thing is absurd.
Maybe they are right, Lord, maybe they are right 
only one voice is heard…
But if they are right – only one voice is heard –
this is where they are wrong –
it’s not my voice that is heard – it’s Yours.

I am not dreaming…

You are the Dreamer…
I am Your dream.
