What love gives and requires

I'm preparing to teach the Relief Society lesson on "Faithfulness in Times of Trial" from the Lorenzo Snow manual. I'm looking up quotes from "The Problem of Pain" by C.S. Lewis and ran across this great one that expresses how I feel about H and pornography use.

“Love may, indeed, love the beloved when her beauty is lost: but not because it is lost. Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal. Love is more sensitive than hatred itself to every blemish in the beloved… Of all powers he forgives most, but he condones least: he is pleased with little, but demands all.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

  1. We had the same lesson today. I think I pretty much highlighted the majority of the lesson.
