To worship God in truth is to recognize Him for being who He is, and to recognize ourselves for what we are.
Brother LawrenceGood when He gives, supremely good; Nor less when He denies: Afflictions, from His sovereign hand, Are blessings in disguise.
Brother LawrenceThere is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful, than that of a continual conversation with God; those only can comprehend it who practice and experience it.
Brother LawrenceLove sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.
Brother LawrenceLet all our employment be to know GOD: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him. And as knowledge is commonly the measure of love, the deeper and more extensive our knowledge shall be, the greater will be our love: and if our love of GOD were great, we should love Him equally in pains and pleasures.
