What Pleases God


Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal. Love is more sensitive than hatred itself to every blemish in the beloved; his 'feeling is more soft and sensible than are the tender horns of cockled snails'. Of all powers he forgives most, but condones least: he is pleased with little but demands all.
-C.S. Lewis in chapter 3 of The Problem of Pain (pp. 39)
