Captivatingly special

Having finished the book for a second, more well-dicussed time, we decided that it's a pretty good joke that women are the crown of creation (we would like to second that thought). Then there's the man~ woman relationship thing that's all signed and sealed in marriage, yet a bit tricky out of that fence and basically ruined by sin, and somehow redeemable by his grace. Finally, there's a big hang up we have about letting our beauty speak for itself because we are too concerned with other people's perception of us; we fear what others will think more than resting in what God thinks of us. If we only knew what C. S. Lewis said in the first place: men are no mere mortals, but God's little god-sons, who think either too highly or too lowly of themselves by sin's nature, when we ought to think God's thoughts about ourselves and be thus free from thinking about self at all, being filled with Him.
