They find it impossible to believe in the unfamiliar while the familiar is before their eyes. Keep pressing home on humans the ordinariness of things that they can see and touch so that they think they know it all. (The Screwtape Letters, p23)

To be filled with that love is to look at the world from God's perspective, to see how beautiful it is, and to behold how glorious it is becoming.

To experience that is to know God.(ThemesNT, p163)
