The Price We Pay For Love - C.S. Lewis Story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2017
- Clive wrote about faraway places he never visited. He created magical worlds seen through children’s eyes though he was a middle-aged college professor. He wrote a bestselling book on love even though he had never experienced romance.
In short, Clive was the world’s foremost expert on things he had never experienced.
Then Clive’s life was turned upside down by a visiting author from America. Joy would give him the greatest happiness in his life, only to leave him to cope with unbearable grief.
Three years after cancer stole his beloved Joy, he collapsed in his bedroom and died. The world hardly noticed the passing of this author because a young American president was assassinated in Dallas on the same day. But fifty-four years later, he is
remembered as a towering giant who changed the landscape of literature.

Great quote "the pain of your loss is proof of the joy you possessed"
I sobbed my way through our wedding vows. 11 years after her passing I still cry for her. Grief is the price we pay, for loving well.
Michael, There are no words that I could tell you that would bring you comfort except one day as sure as the sun rises you will be with her again. I lost my wife January 15, 2020. She was only 36. I cry every night for her and talk to her as if she was still here. The depth of despair is beyond words. You are not alone. I know that the pain and grief will never heal ,we just learn to move forward with it. Its cross I know ill bear the rest of my life. And its ok. Just hang in there! She is im very sure looking over you.
You got to Love.. what a blessing.. your journey together will continue into eternity....
You are so right the grief I have felt since he now is w/ Jesus but he is my only love I will always miss until I join him in Heaven w/ Jesus.😪😪♥️♥️♥️❗️
I cried through my whole wedding. 30 years later I still feel it. How I still love you & always will. God blessed me the day we met. Until we meet again my darling 💔
Blessings on you for all the pain you are enduring. You love must be a wonderful thing. Bob Petterson
It isn't a coincidence that God brought this woman into his life, and her name was Joy! They both are in Christ's Presence now, knowing eternal joy!
Some say that they actively avoid love in order to avoid the pain that it inevitably brings. They do not recognise that without it they are already suffering.
I have a friend I've known for nearly fifty years who lives exactly like this, and is very aware of his suffering. His reason is that he would be too crushed if an intimate, loving relationship ever ended.
I know I'm a bit late but, Lewis wrote "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."
@@haliaxlaclith1407 Not late at all HL! It is always well worth reading quotations of erudite people (especially if what they have to say agrees with your own beliefs!)
Our love ones are waiting for us On the other side because of what Jesus did on that cross...🙏
Seek Him and you shall have eternal life..
Amen! All because of Christ, our blessed Savior 🌸
I love Clive, he has awed, made me so happy with his brilliance and his love of Jesus Christ.
The one thing I have learned in this life on this earth is that love never ends well. But it is worth it!
"Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." - C.S. Lewis

“Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13:6-7 NIV)
Wow. Yes. I agree. And as a child h.. Books had the greatest impact on mmm me
I loved my girlfriend with all my heart. It’s a shame she had to be taken away from me. I wanted so many things, I wanted to prove to her how much she meant to me, knowing it would take a lifetime. I often beg God to take her off my mind because it hurts. Thank you, i really appreciate this video. Those words from C.S. Lewis will stick with me!
I'll add a bit more about Lewis' love life. Joy is the 3rd woman, Lewis fell in love with. He was reluctant to marry Joy for the fear of the pain losing another woman he loves. But he did it anyway... out of love.
The first two women being...?

@@shikyokira3065 I wouldn't say anyone falls in love with his mother, but okay.
Its really hard to say whether one is missing out in life or gaining more by not knowing the values and heartaches of love
Def missing out
The extent to which we love each other is the extent of which we will feel pain when we are gone
I know that grief but do not regret the years we shared.

You are s really good story teller. The voice adds to the enjoyment.
Thank you again for another story. God is so good !! I love how each story teaches us a new lesson in life. Thank you
I too got married in the hospital, on August 1st 2023. Alas, I was never able to bring my groom home with me as his terminal cancer took him a few days later on August 6th. He called me his miracle, but I believe I was blessed by him just as much as he was by me. We each had been hurt in previous relationships and had no desire to ever get married again. We had a 20 year platonic friendship when he was diagnosed on July 12. I could see how quickly my friend was declining and I knew I couldn't get Family Medical Leave as a mere friend to take care of him, so I proposed to him. I did not want to see my friend, this honorable man that I trusted, die alone in the hospital or in hospice. He died in my arms a few short nights after getting married. I didn't know I could love and be loved so deeply, so quickly, at our ages (60+). The grief is so hard, but I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I thank God for all my remembrances of him. I can't help but believe that God has a Greater Purpose in it all.
What a wonderful story of love. I am deeply touched by your amazing story. You really have lived the "deal" presented by Joy to CS Lewis. Thanks for sharing it with me and others who hear this story. You have my prayers and best wishes. Bob Petterson
Yes, dear lady, It was worth it all... what you had was true treasure... some people seek this kind of love not able to find it and would give anything just to have what you had... but I don't like the word "platonic" it doesn't describe it well.
This kind of love is deep, it's pure and outlast all human love. And if you both love Christ and belong to him, your beloved is just a time distance away. 🌸
You are a Master storyteller! Live strong...
Folks insist that God brings us love. Yet here are a number of example s of the pain love brings.
C.S. Lewis would say, "we are on the wrong side of the tapestry"
He also wrote an entire book addressing the problem you just presented.
@@melissasaint3283 At Chartres, a later boarding school, one of Lewis's teachers introduced him to the occult. He also began to grapple with doubts about God, which rose from the problem of evil in the world and from what he perceived as the similarity between Christianity and paganism. In addition, he struggled with sexual temptation.
I'd quibble with a few things said here... Firstly, I really wouldn't call Joy an Evangelical. Joy's cancer had been discovered *prior* to Lewis proposing. I don't know of any evidence that Jack thought about calling off the wedding, or that Joy argued him into it using the "That's the deal" speech from Shadowlands. Finally, while Lewis greatly grieved her death, I can't think of any evidence that he was suicidal.
Beautiful! ❤
Thank you so much for this wonderful explanation of the unexplainable pain
This is the queen's quote.
"The pain of your loss is living proof of the joy you possessed."
We take it all, don't we?!
A decade ago my wife asked me if I loved her?
I told her it was a hard question, for Love is one of God's name. I told her furthermore I would well enough know the answer when she would be gone.
We are still mariedr rising our kids. She is my best friend.
Enjoy all the best you can, even sorrow: put all in the Lord's hand. He is always eager to be our guest.
Sorrow is much eayser to bear if one did not miss joy when it was at hand. All in due time, and ever do your best. Amen.
You’ve probably already done this in the decade since she asked the question, but in case you haven’t, please tell your wife you love her!
@@MadelineDuff-tn5lvI told her so many a time, yet only when she least expected to hear that form me. I'm a hard bone to gnaw at.
@@klausehrhardt4481 Thanks for responding, sir! I wish you both the best!
The BBC and Hollywood versions of the movie Shadowlands, which chronicle Lewis and Davidman-Gresham's meeting, relationship, and marriage, were both very good. The BBC version focused more on C.S. Lewis's character, whereas the Hollywood version focused more on the character of Joy Davidman-Gresham.
Perhaps the two films could be spliced in some way to show a more complete picture!
They make the mistake as portraying Lewis as a detached bachelor prior to Joy coming into his life - which couldn't be further from the truth.
Wow! That is something I didn't know about CS Loue?
"' MARRIAGE IS THE GRAVE YARD OF LOVE '" (Chinese proverb)
Boy,, that’s deep.. 🫶
God blesses each one of us in such a multitude of ways.
Thank you for sharing this with us .
🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wow, Great video!!!
But my joy didn't even start as I've discovered 3,7 years ago that the woman I've fallen deeply in love with has someone. Then it came out she had feelings for me but never showed it, never told me. I did let her know about my deep feelings but it's complicated...Been praying and suffering all this time now and asked God to bring me joy and blessing. Still waiting to this day for it to happen because when I asked if He wants us to be together it seems I got a yes many times. Need prayer for my deep suffering...Lucas who's in deep love with Susannah.
Lucas, l truly, sincerely feel for you...and l understand. One must have known grief in their lfe in order to understand...
But only Christ Jesus can fill the void that grief creates in human heart and fill the imptiness of it with joy. 🙏🎶
I feel sorry for this guy, but at least he is still remembered today. That was to be worth something, right?
What matters is not what the world remembers you by. But what God does or doesn't.
Interesting.
amen..
Aldous Huxley died on the same day too
Dear Neville, Thinking of Gail and you I remember a clip from C S Lewes that helped me somehow in my grief and would like to send it to you. I think it is part op his biographical work “A grief observed” greetings ,Roeline
Jesus is worth it.
