I agree with C. S. Lewis that God’s highest agenda is not our immediate happiness. I believe that God is much more committed to our eternal joy, our spiritual growth, and the condition of our hearts. This means that we need to grow out of spiritual infancy into a richer, ever-maturing belief in a God who is infinitely wiser than we are. We need to learn to trust him even when we can’t feel him, believe in him even when he doesn’t make sense, and follow him even though we’re not sure where he’s leading us.
