CS Lewis on Uniqueness

Each of the redeemed shall forever know and praise some one aspect of the divine beauty better than any other creature can. Why else were individuals created but that God, loving all infinitely should love each differently. [The Problem of Pain. Ch 10. From "The Quotable Lewis."]
I am not certain that I would make a doctrine out of this. However, it is an insight that reminds us that God saves us as individuals, that He treasure each one of us, even as He builds us into a body.
