That all things are possible to him who believes, that they are less difficult to him who hopes, they are more easy to him who loves, and still more easy to him who perseveres in the practice of these three virtues.

Brother Lawrence

That we ought, once for all, heartily to put our whole trust in GOD, and make a total surrender of ourselves to Him, secure that He would not deceive us.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Deceiving God Surrender Trust
Are we not rude and deserve blame, if we leave Him alone, to busy ourselves about trifles, which do not please Him and perhaps offend Him? ‘Tis to be feared these trifles will one day cost us dear.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Cost Day One Rude
The end we ought to propose to ourselves is to become, in this life, the most perfect worshipers of God we can possibly be, as we hope to be through all eternity.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Eternity Perfect Worship
Have courage then: make a virtue of necessity: ask of God, not deliverance from your pains, but strength to bear resolutely, for the love of Him, all that He should please, and as long as He shall please.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Bears Long Pain
Good when He gives, supremely good; Nor less when He denies: Afflictions, from His sovereign hand, Are blessings in disguise.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Blessing Giving Hands
It matters not to me what I do, or what I suffer, so long as I abide loveingly united to God’s will – that is my whole business.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

God as we ought to worship Him. God is Spirit, so we must worship Him in spirit and truth, that is, by a humble and true adoration of spirit in the depth and center of our souls.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Loving God and loving one’s neighbor are really the same thing.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Loving God Neighbor
Love sweetens pain; and when one loves God, one suffers for His sake with joy and courage.

It is not the greatness of the work which matters to God but the love with which it is done.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Done God Greatness
The most holy and necessary practice in our spiritual life is the presence of God. That means finding constant pleasure in His divine company, speaking humbly and lovingly with him in all seasons, at every moment, without limiting the conversation in any way.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Mean Practice Spiritual
What can God have that gives him greater satisfaction than that a thousand times a day all his creatures should thus pause to withdraw and worship him in the heart.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Christian Giving Heart
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 LAWRENCE

Heart Prayer Remembrance
