“God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.”
— C. S. Lewis

Simplified Meaning:
True happiness and peace can't be found without including God because they don't exist separately from Him. Imagine wanting to enjoy a beautiful garden but refusing to step inside the garden itself; you would miss out on the flowers and beauty since they are inside. Similarly, God is like that garden of peace and happiness. For example, many people seek joy in things like money or success but might still feel empty inside. By connecting with God, they can find a deeper, more lasting peace and joy that isn’t dependent on external things. So, to really find peace and happiness, one should seek a relationship with God.
