God can make good use of all that happens, but the loss is real.

Perelandra (1943)

Whatever you do, He will make good of it. But not the good He had prepared for you if you had obeyed him.

Perelandra (1943)

You could send your soul after the good you had expected, instead of turning it to the good you had got. You could refuse the real good; you could make the real fruit taste insipid by thinking of the other.

Perelandra (1943)

When He died in the Wounded World He died not for men, but for each man. If each man had been the only man made, He would have done no less. Each thing, from the single grain of Dust to the strongest eldil, is the end and the final cause of all creation and the mirror in which the beam of His brightness comes to rest and so returns to Him. Blessed be He!
