Cut Off Attachments Immediately

Proverbs 23:1–3; Matthew 5:30; 18:8; Mark 9:43–45

However small an attachment may be, do not be too confident that you can cut it off at any time, but cut it off at once: for if you do not have the courage to destroy it when it is but beginning, how can you presume upon success when it has taken root and grown?

John of the Cross (1542 – 1591)
