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

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

Depth Humble Soul
GOD will not permit that a soul which desires to be devoted entirely to Him should take other pleasures than with Him: that is more than reasonable.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Desire Soul Worship
Let us fear to leave Him. Let us be always with Him. Let us live and die in His presence.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Always Dies Presence
If we are truly devoted to doing God’s will, pain and pleasure won’t make any difference to us.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Differences Pain Pleasure
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

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
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

Long Matter Suffering
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
That there needed neither art nor science for going to GOD, but only a heart resolutely determined to apply itself to nothing but Him, or for His sake, and to love Him only.
BROTHER LAWRENCE

Art Determine Sake
It is not the greatness of the work which matters to God but the love with which it is done.
