The greater perfection a soul aspires after, the more dependent it is upon Divine Grace.
Brother LawrenceTo worship God is to admit that we are entirely contrary to Him, and that He is willing to make us like Himself.
Brother LawrenceHaving found in many books different methods of going to GOD, and divers practices of the spiritual life, I thought this would serve rather to puzzle me than facilitate what I sought after, which was nothing but how to become wholly GOD'S. This made me resolve to give the all for the all; so after having given myself wholly to GOD, that He might take away my sin, I renounced, for the love of Him, everything that was not He; and I began to live as if there was none but He and I in the world.
