C.S. Lewis once said, “Until you have given up your self to Him you will not have a real self.”

I love that the quote says your self instead of yourself. To me, it feels like an invitation to give every part of who we are to God—our heart, soul, fears, hopes, weaknesses, and desires. Sometimes we hold pieces of ourselves back, afraid we are too flawed or too broken. But our Father in Heaven has never looked at us with anything less than perfect love.

What if becoming our truest self doesn’t come from focusing more on ourselves, but from surrendering ourselves more fully to Him? What if we could begin to see ourselves the way He sees us?

As we place our lives in His hands, little by little, we begin to discover who we really are and who we are capable of becoming through His divine help.

As If I Were the Only One

My Daily Musings-March 5th, 2026

Some days are harder than others.

There are moments when life feels overwhelming and lonely—when we wonder if anyone truly understands what we’re carrying. I’ve had days like that, especially when my health struggles make me feel discouraged or misunderstood.

But in those quiet moments when I turn to prayer and reach out to my Heavenly Father, something changes. I’m reminded that He hears me. I feel His presence, and the loneliness begins to soften.

C.S. Lewis once wrote:
“God has infinite attention for each one of us. He doesn’t have to take us in the line. You’re as much alone with Him as if you were the only thing He’d ever created.”

That thought amazes me. My human mind can’t fully understand how He can give such personal attention to each of His children—but I know He does. I’ve felt it in my darkest moments, when His light found me and reminded me I wasn’t alone.

Have you ever felt that quiet reassurance after praying?
When life feels heavy, do you remember that you can speak honestly with Him about how you feel—even your frustrations?

Our Father in Heaven always understands. He is always listening. And no matter the time of day or the depth of our struggle, we are never alone when we reach out to Him.
