thomas-a-kempis-christ.jpgOld habits are hard to break, and no one is easily weaned from his own opinions; but if you rely on your own reasoning and ability rather than on the virtue of submission to Jesus Christ, you will but seldom and slowly attain wisdom. For God wills that we become perfectly obedient to himself, and that we transcend mere reason on the wings of burning love for him.

- Thomas a Kempis

  1. Rustin says:

    I love this: ‘no one is easily weaned from his own opinions’.

  2. Brad Brisco says:

    Rustin, yes I thought that was a great statement as well and so very true too.
