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.
