Thomas a Kempis

Whoever would fully and feelingly understand the words of Christ, must endeavor to conform his life wholly to the life of Christ.
Thomas a Kempis

Thou shalt rest sweetly if thy heart condemn thee not.
Thomas a Kempis

All His glory and beauty come from within, and there He delights to dwell, His visits there are frequent, His conversation sweet, His comforts refreshing and His peace passing all understanding.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
He rides pleasantly enough whom the grace of God carries.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Whoever strives to withdraw from obedience, withdraws from grace.
Thomas a Kempis

Our dependence upon God ought to be so entire and absolute that we should never think it necessary, in any kind of distress, to have recourse to human consolations.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
Man sees your actions, but God your motives.
Thomas a Kempis
Image
For nothing, how little soever, that is suffered for God's sake, can pass without merit in the sight of God.
Thomas a Kempis
