Patches of godlight

We (or at least I) shall not be able to adore God on the highest occasions if we have learned no habit of doing so on the lowest. At best our faith and reason will tell us that He is adorable, but we shall not have found Him so, not have ‘tasted and seen’. Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from reading books on astronomy. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are ‘patches of godlight’ in the woods of experience.

C. S. Lewis.


I often find this to be true. A couple of weeks ago as I walked through our garden with Mum and Esther, God's goodness amazed me. Simple things like the feel of sun on my skin, fresh air, vegetables, trees, and flowers seemed alive with beauty.


As Psalm 65:11 says:


You crown the year with your goodness,
And Your paths drip with abundance.
