Lift up your hearts to Him, sometimes even at your meals, and when you are in company; the least little remembrance will always be acceptable to Him. You need not cry very loud; He is nearer to us than we are aware.
Brother LawrenceAnd it is not necessary to have great things to do. I turn my little omelette in the pan for the love of God.
Brother LawrenceLove sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.
Brother LawrenceI 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.
Brother Lawrence
