The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbor’s glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. – CS Lewis

As a follow up to the “love your neighbor” emails – CS Lewis has a great way of explaining it.

Our goal should be our neighbor’s glory.

And the weight of that should be so much that we have no choice to be humbled in our attempts to achieve it.

Only with God’s help will we be able to properly orient ourselves to the goal of neighbor’s glory.

In the Bible it says “my yoke is light” (paraphrased) – by working together with God, the load is lightened.

When we take up the yoke of our own glory or our own happiness our backs will be broken under the weight.

When we give up our lives in service through love we will gain it all and more back.

Make it a great day.
