CS Lewis in The Weight of Glory presents a life-changing argument that, once understood, alters the way Christians see the world around them, but, more importantly, the way they see the people around them. Lewis opens his article with a statement; he says that today it is believed that the greatest virtue is altruism, whereas previously it was love. A positive term has been replaced by a negative one. Altruism expresses the idea of ​​giving up something to appease one's own mind rather than to ensure good for others. Love is focused on others and has their best interests in mind. This world is a world consumed by desire. It consumes every aspect of life; everything has at least a small appeal to desire. People do things to satisfy desires. This satisfaction can come from work, good grades, a job well done, or pleasure. Whatever is done, there is an underlying reason to please oneself. So if this world is so absorbed in its own desires, there can be no hope of salvation. In Heaven there is no room for selfishness. Heaven is a place completely free of any selfish desire because there God exists and God is love and love is not selfish. The Bible says we are to take up our crosses daily and follow Christ. For Christians this is the logical process; they follow Christ because that is what is expected of them. Christians, however, are not without desire. Christians have desires for the things of this world, but beyond that they have desires for the things of the other world. Christians long for Heaven and all its rich benefits and prospects it has to offer as a reward for their faithfulness here on earth. They want to be liberated from this world and enter a place of perfect union with the God of love,......center of the card......a similar conclusion is very much on my mind when I consider these things . I believe that universal acceptance of some form of higher being and a place of rest after death shows overwhelming support for an existing God and for Heaven to be a real place. Since so many people have this desire in their hearts to want God, I believe that God must exist, otherwise this desire in them would be baseless and just a whim of the mind. But because it is universal and is a whim of every mind, it leads me to believe that there must be something greater planting that idea there in all the world for all to reflect on, question and understand. This something greater for me is God. Therefore God has sown his essence in everyone and for this reason there seems to be a universal desire for God and Heaven, because God has made himself present everywhere and in everything.
