When we see the face of God we shall know that we have always known it. He has been a party to, has made, sustained and moved moment by moment within all our earthly experiences of innocent love. All that was true love in them was, even on earth, far more His than ours, and ours only because His...By loving Him more than them we shall love them more than we now do...God is our true Beloved.
C.S. Lewis
