If we are truly devoted to doing God's will, pain and pleasure won't make any difference to us.
Brother LawrenceWe 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.
Brother LawrenceLet us think often that our only business in this life is to please God. Perhaps all besides is but folly and vanity.
Brother LawrenceThe time of business does not differ with me from the time of prayer; and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were on my knees.
