Episode 65 -- Imitation of Christ III.27 -- Self-love as the great Hinderance in Our Quest for the Highest God

In chapter 27, Thomas a Kempis warns us about the danger of bad self-love. Bad self-love tries to create a private set of concerns for which God is not involved. We tend to thing of ourselves as isolated individuals rather than as members of a vast Body, the Body of Christ. We have been inserted into a share of God"s own life. We must seek above all to be filled with God's wisdom.
