Be daring. None of us have a long time to live. Again, what years we have, let us live them with God. If there is any suffering, it will be sweet, even pleasant, while we are with Him. And brother, without Him the greatest pleasure you could ever have would be but anguish.

Our business is to love and delight ourselves in God.

It would be rude, don’t you think, to leave a friend all alone who had come to visit? Why is it then, that God is so often neglected? Do not forget the Lord. Think on Him often; adore Him continually. Live and die with Him. This is the glorious employment of a Christian. This is our profession as Christians. If we do not already do this, then we must learn to do it.
– Brother Lawrence –
We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.

The greater perfection a soul aspires after, the more dependent it is upon divine grace.
– Brother Lawrence –
It matters not to me what I do, or what I suffer, so long as I abide lovingly united to God’s will – that is my whole business.
– Brother Lawrence –
My God, here I am wholly devoted to Thee. Lord, make me according to Thy heart.

Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God.
