More From Thomas A Kempis

In the cross is salvation; in the cross is life; in the cross is protection against our enemies; in the cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the cross is strength of mind; in the cross is joy of spirit; in the cross is excellence of virtue; in the cross is perfection of holiness. there is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the cross.
Jesus Perfection Joy
It thou seek rest in this life, how wilt thou then attain to the everlasting rest? dispose not thyself for much rest, but for great patience. seek true peace--not in earth, but in heaven; not in men, nor in any other creature, but in god alone.

What is thy thought? there is no miracle? there is a great one, which thou hast not read, and never shalt escape. thyself, o man, thou art the miracle. ay, thou thyself, being in the world and of the world, thyself, hast breathed in breath from him that made the world. thou art thy father's copy of himself,-- thou art thy father's miracle.

Objectives can be compared to a compass bearing by which a ship navigates. a compass bearing is firm, but in actual navigation, a ship may veer off its course for many miles. without a compass bearing, a ship would neither find its port nor be able to estimate the time required to get there.

The believer's cross is no longer any and every kind of suffering, sickness, or tension, the bearing of which is demanded. the believer's cross must be, like his lord's, the price of his social nonconformity. it is not, like sickness or catastrophe, an inexplicable, unpredictable suffering; it is the end of the path freely chosen after counting the cost. it is not, like luther's or thomas muntzer's or zinzendorf's or kierkegaard's cross, an inward wrestling of the sensitive soul with self and sin; it is the social reality of representing in an unwilling world the order to come.
