Do not forget Him but think on Him often. Adore Him continually. Live and die with Him. This is the glorious work of a Christian in a word, this is our profession. If we do not know it, we must learn it.

More quotes by Brother Lawrence
I cannot imagine how religious persons can live satisfied without the practice of the presence of GOD. For my part I keep myself retired with Him in the depth of centre of my soul as much as I can and while I am so with Him I fear nothing but the least turning from Him is insupportable.
Brother Lawrence
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
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
Let all our employment be to know God: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him.
Brother Lawrence
I began to live as if there were no one save God and me in the world.
Brother Lawrence
Believe me, count as lost each day you have not used in loving God.
Brother Lawrence
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.
Brother Lawrence
Men invent means and methods of coming at God''s love, they learn rules and set up devices to remind them of that love, and it seems like a world of trouble to bring oneself into the consciousness of God''s presence. Yet it might be so simple. Is it not quicker and easier just to do our common business wholly for the love of him?
Brother Lawrence
The time of business does not differ with me from the time of prayer and in the noise and clatter of my kitchen, while several persons are at the same time calling for different things, I possess God in as great tranquility as if I were on my knees.
Brother Lawrence
That we should establish ourselves in a sense of GOD’s Presence, by continually conversing with Him. That it was a shameful thing to quit His conversation, to think of trifles and fooleries.
Brother Lawrence
There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful, than that of a continual conversation with God those only can comprehend it who practice and experience it.
Brother Lawrence
Many things are possible for the person who has hope. Even more is possible for the person who has faith. And still more is possible for the person who knows how to love. But everything is possible for the person who practices all three virtues.
Brother Lawrence
The world appears very little to a soul that contemplates the greatness of God.
Brother Lawrence
Think often on God, by day, by night, in your business and even in your diversions. He is always near you and with you leave him not alone.
Brother Lawrence
We ought to seek God's assistance in our affairs just as they happen.
Brother Lawrence
It is possible for us to live in the very sense of the Lord's presence, under even the most difficult circumstances. If you and I are going to enjoy the peace of paradise during this life we must become accustomed to a familiar, humble, and very affectionate conversation with the Lord Jesus.
Brother Lawrence
It is not the greatness of the work which matters to God but the love with which it is done.
Brother Lawrence
To worship God in truth is to recognize Him for being who He is, and to recognize ourselves for what we are.
Brother Lawrence
A little lifting of the heart suffices a little remembrance of God, one act of inward worship are prayers which, however short, are nevertheless acceptable to God.
Brother Lawrence
To worship God in truth is further to admit that we are entirely contrary to Him, and that He is willing to make us like Himself if we desire it. Who will be so imprudent as to turn himself away, even for a moment, from the reverence, love, service and continual adoration which we most justly owe Him?
