Eternity Perfect Worship
In order to form a habit of conversing with GOD continually, and referring all we do to Him, we must at first apply to Him with some diligence: but that after a little care we should find His love inwardly excite us to it without any difficulty.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Care Littles Order
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.

We 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.

If I were to be responsible for guiding souls, I would urge everyone to be aware of God’s constant presence, if for no other reason than His presence is a delight to our souls and spirit.

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.

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

Loving God Neighbor
To worship God is to admit that we are entirely contrary to Him, and that He is willing to make us like Himself.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

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.
