It is probably impossible to love any human being simply "too much." We may love him too much in proportion to our love for God; but it is the smallness of our love for God, not the greatness of our love for the man, that constitutes the inordinancy. ~ C.S. Lewis in The Four Loves
This is such truth. I've long known I cannot love people correctly without God's love pouring through me. Moreover, the more I love God, the more I am able to extend love to others. Lewis is not saying anything I have not realized and experienced, but he puts the matter in such admirable perspective. Praise God for gifting people such as Lewis.
