Status Updates From Nasledovanie Krista

I plan on digesting this book slowly. The lessons throughout are pure gems. Already I can tell why this is such a classic!

"Love tends upward; it will not be held down by anything low."

"The wise love regards not so much the gift of Him Who loves as the love of Him Who gives."

"Is it anything great that I should serve You Whom every creature is bound to serve? It should not seem much to me; instead it should appear great and wonderful that You condescended to receive into Your service one who is so poor and unworthy."

"I have never met a man so religious and devout that he has not experienced at some time a withdrawal of grace and felt a lessening of fervor."

"The whole life of Christ was a cross and a martyrdom, and do you seek rest and enjoyment for yourself?"

"A peaceful man does more good than a learned man."

"All our peace in this life is found in humbly enduring suffering rather than being free from it."

"Sweet shall be your rest if your heart does not reproach you."

"Praise adds nothing to your holiness, nor does blame take anything from it."

"He who clings to a creature will fall with its frailty, but he who gives himself to Jesus will ever be strengthened."
