WORDS TO PONDER
The words below are from The Imitation of Christ, the classic work by Thomas a Kempis (1380-1471).
"Of what use is it discourse learnedly on the Trinity, if you lack humility and therefore displease the Trinity?"
"I would far rather feel contrition than be able to define it."
"A humble countryman who serves God is more pleasing to Him than a conceited intellectual who knows the course of the stars, but neglects his own soul."
"Whatever trust you place in men rather than in Jesus is almost wholly wasted."
