"It is something like that with Christ and us. The more we get what we now call 'ourselves' out of the way and let Him take us over, the more ourselves we become. There is so much of Him that millions and millions of 'little Christs', all different, will still be too few to express Him fully. He made them all. He invented--as an author invents characters in a novel--all the different men that you and I were intended to be. In that sense our real selves are all waiting for us in Him. It is no good trying to 'be myself' without Him."
--C.S. Lewis
