Chloe Briscoe’s Reviews > The Imitation of Christ: A Modern Translation > Status Update

“Even if I had all the comforts of this world and were able to enjoy all its delights, they would not last long… Wait a little while, my soul, wait for the divine promise and you will have an abundance of all good things in heaven. If you long too much for the things that exist now, you will lose the eternal and heavenly things.”

a person's worth isn't determined by the number of visions of consolations they have, or by their knowledge of the Scriptures, or by their high position, but by their true humility and divine love, by their constant and sincere desire to honor God, by their lack of self-importance and their genuine willingness to despise and humble themselves, and even to be despised and humbled by others rather than to be honored.
