It is possible for us to live in the very sense of the Lord's presence, under even the most difficult circumstances. If you and I are going to enjoy the peace of paradise during this life we must become accustomed to a familiar, humble, and very affectionate conversation with the Lord Jesus.

That we should feed and nourish our souls with high notions of GOD; which would yield us great joy in being devoted to Him.

If we are truly devoted to doing God's will, pain and pleasure won't make any difference to us.

There's no greater lifestyle and no greater happiness than that of having a continual conversation with God.

Let us fear to leave Him. Let us be always with Him. Let us live and die in His presence.

We can do little things for God; I turn the cake that is frying on the pan for love of him, and that done, if there is nothing else to call me, I prostrate myself in worship before him, who has given me grace to work; afterwards I rise happier than a king.

I cannot imagine how religious persons can live satisfied without the practice of the presence of GOD. For my part I keep myself retired with Him in the depth of centre of my soul as much as I can; and while I am so with Him I fear nothing; but the least turning from Him is insupportable.
