Wisdom from Narnia

In C.S. Lewis's A Horse and His Boy, a talking horse named Hwin meets Aslan for the first time. (Aslan is a lion who represents Christ in the Narnia books.)

Then Hwin, though shaking all over, gave a strange little neigh and trotted
across to the Lion. "Please," she said, "you're so beautiful. You may eat me if
you like. I'd sooner be eaten by you than fed by anyone else."
How cool is that? Christ should be so consuming in our life that we would rather feed ourselves to Him than live for anything else. I love that image!

That image is a tad bit creepy for my taste...but I'm glad you like it!
