"The Problem of Pain" by CS Lewis

I’m reading a book by CS Lewis called the Problem of Pain. It’s about how God can be good and loving and there can still be pain and suffering.

A quote from this book-
We are, not metaphorically but in very truth, a Divine work of art, something that God is making, and therefore something which He will not be satisfied with until it has a certain character... In the same way, it is natural for us to wish that God had designed us for a less glorious and less arduous destiny; but then are wishing not for more love but for less.
-CSL

“Faith has little to do with belief”

Faith is not borne on the wings of belief,
But is held aloft by trust,
And on the wings of trust faith soars high
