“There is someone I love, even though I don’t approve of what he does."

“There is someone I love,
 even though I don’t approve of what he does.
There is someone I accept,
 though some of his thoughts and actions revolt me.
There is someone I forgive,
 though he hurts the people I love the most.
That person is me.”

paraphrased quote of C.S. Lewis, by David Kinnaman and Gabe Lyons, unChristian: What a New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity, 2007, page 198.

Kinnaman and Lyons may have been paraphrasing C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity, "Forgiveness", Book 3, Chapter 7, beginning at the end of the fourth paragraph.
