Luther and Lewis

Such is the devil's desire and delight that he strives for nothing else but to shatter love among the Christians and to cause hate and envy. For he well knows that through love Christendom is built up and sustained.—Martin Luther, Exposition John xv.

In a perfect Friendship this Appreciative love is, I think, often so great and so firmly based that each member of the circle feels, in his secret heart, bumbled before all the rest. Sometimes he wonders what he is doing there among his betters.—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 161.
