Episode 71 -- Imitation of Christ III.33 -- Inconstant Hearts Trying to Fix Our Gaze on Christ

Should we be surprised that our emotions fluctuate so much in our spiritual lives?

No. In thisreading, Thomas a Kempis explains the various changes our hearts feel from one moment to the next. He speaks of the inconstancy of our hearts. Our hearts are not constant in their good feelings and good resolutions. So quickly we pass from being cheerful to being depressed, from being peaceful to being upset. How we need to keep our gaze fixed on the Lord amidst the storms.
