What good does it do to speak learnedly about the Trinity if, lacking humility, you displease the Trinity? Indeed it is not learning that makes a man holy and just, but a virtuous life makes him pleasing to God.
I would rather feel contrition than know how to define it.
For what would it profit us to know the whole Bible by heart and the principles of all the philosophers if we live without grace and the love of God? Vanity of vanities and all is vanity, except to love God and serve Him alone.
–Thomas à Kempis
Amen.
I would rather experience any and all of the fruits of the Spirit than to know the definition of each one. May we choose today to love God and serve Him with every step we take, every choice we make, every word we speak, and every thought we think.
