Oh, the journey's we will take...
Excerpts from The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Chronicles of Narnia by Clyde Staples Lewis
" 'But who is Aslan? Do you know him?' / 'Well--he knows me,' said Edmund. 'He is the great Lion, the son of the Emperor-beyond-the-Sea, who saved me and saved Narnia. We've all seen him. Lucy sees him most often. And it may be Aslan's country we are sailing to.' " p 110-111
How blessed we are the God knows us!! And those that don't know Him, how He desires for them to know Him...
"and she ran forward with a little cry of delight and with her arms stretched out. For what stood in the doorway was Aslan himself, The Lion, the highest of all High Kings. And he was solid and real and warm and he let her kiss him and bury herself in his shining mane. And from the low, earthquake like sound that came from inside him, Lucy even dared to think that he was purring. / 'Oh, Aslan,' said she, 'it was kind of you to com.' / 'I have been here all the time,' said he, 'but you have just made me visible.' / 'Aslan!' said Lucy almost a little reproachfully. 'Don't make fun of me. As if anything I could do would make you visible!' / 'It did,' said Aslan. 'Do you think I wouldn't obey my own rules?' " p. 158-159
" 'Why is it called Aslan's table?' asked Lucy presently. / 'It is set here by his bidding,' said the girl, 'for those who come so far. Some call this island the World's End, for though you can sail further, this is the beginning of the end.' / 'But how does the food keep?' asked the practical Eustace. / 'It is eaten, and renewed every day,' said the girl. 'this you will see.' " p. 202
Oh how blessed we are to have a Father that wants to provide for us!! Today at Church we read the story of Isaac and Abraham for the Christmas sermon, and how God is a God of ALL provisions- He wants to provide the provisions for us!! Come, let us eat and drink and be filled by the gifts of God!!!!
" 'Please, Lamb,' said Lucy, 'is this nthe way to Aslan's country?' / 'Not for you,' said the Lamb. 'for you the door into Aslan's country is from your own world.' / 'what!' said Edmund. 'Is there a way into Aslan's country from our world too?' / 'There is a way into my country from all the worlds,' said the Lamb; " p. 246
God wants us to find Jesus, and hence have a way to heaven!! How GOOD our God IS !!
