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

BROTHER LAWRENCE

Delight Love Ourselves

BROTHER LAWRENCE

Christian Forget Thinking
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.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Cake Grace Kings

BROTHER LAWRENCE
