This is the craziest...

Came accross this while reading "That Hideous Strenght" and thought it was pretty awesome.

Do you place yourself in the obedience, said the Director, in the obedience to Maleldil?

Sir, said Jane, I know nothing of Maleldil. But I place myself in obedience to you.

It is enough for the present, said the Director. This is the courtesy of Deep Heaven: that when you mean well, He always takes you to have meant better than you knew. It will not be enough for always. He is very jealous. He will have you for no one but Himself in the end. But for tonight, it is enough.

This is the craziest business ever I heard of, said Macphee.


I agree with Macphee, God's grace and understanding of us is pretty crazy. I love the thought that God knows the intent of our hearts and basically credits us for more than what we mean or intend.
