We saw that God gives each of us different gifts. And, it does not matter which gift we have been given because all gifts are important, all gifts meet a need and all gifts are from God. Rather, what\u2019s important is that we share that gift with others. Just as C.S. Lewis did. C.S. Lewis was creative. He had a way with words. He was able to reach many people with his writings.<\/p>\n<p>Her are some C.S. Lewis quotes to get you thinking.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cI believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen:not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cTo be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0\u201cIntegrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cTrue humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\u201cI never exactly made a book.
