Quote from CS Lewis

"You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body."

Analogy of Servant Leadership

Who serves the other? The baby or his parents? Yet who is in authority?

"Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (Phil 2:5-11)

Analogy of True Contentment

After a spirited 'exposition' of what it means to be contented in singleness, below is a summary of our continued conversation via sms:

HS: I want to stumble you with envy. I'm having Cedele's.
Me: I'm having a slightly inferior (but good enough for me!) Subway meal.
(Pause)
I think I know the meaning of true contentment now.

Contentment is... feeling/thinking that Cedele's is superior to Subway but fully satisfied with what I'm having (even though in God's eyes, Cedele's and Subway are both equally good!)
