Teresa #2: first things first

..what God cares about is not exactly our actions. What He cares about is that we should be creatures of a certain kind or quality - the kind of quality He intended for us to be - creatures related to Him in a certain way. I do not add  

“and related to one another in a certain way” because that is included; if you are right with Him you will inevitably be right with all your fellow creatures, just as if all the spokes of a wheel are rightly fitted into the hub and the rim they are bound to be in the right position to one another. 

CS Lewis, Mere Christiaity
