Last week Justin Taylor posted the following quote from C.S. Lewis.  It is a great reminder of the need for God to reign supreme above all other loves in our lives.  If He does not then we are loving the gifts and reflections of Him rather than Him as the giver and the substance of all that is good and excellent.

“When I have learnt to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. Insofar as I learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of God and instead of God, I shall be moving towards the state in which I shall not love my earthly dearest at all. When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased.”

- C. S. Lewis, Letters of C.S. Lewis (8 November, 1952)
