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
We ought to seek God's assistance in our affairs just as they happen.
Brother Lawrence
We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.
Brother Lawrence
The sorest afflictions never appear intolerable, but when we see them in the wrong light when we see them in the hand of God, who dispenses them when we know that it is our loving Father who abases and distresses us our sufferings will lose their bitterness and become even a matter of consolation.
Brother Lawrence
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
In order to know God, we must often think of Him and when we come to love Him, we shall then also think of Him often, for our heart will be with our treasure.
Brother Lawrence
If the vessel of our soul is still tossed with winds and storms, let us awake the Lord, who reposes in it, and He will quickly calm the sea.
Brother Lawrence
Our only business is to love and delight ourselves in God.
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
I desire only Him and to be wholly His.
Brother Lawrence
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
Let all our employment be to know GOD: the more one knows Him, the more one desires to know Him. And as knowledge is commonly the measure of love, the deeper and more extensive our knowledge shall be, the greater will be our love: and if our love of GOD were great, we should love Him equally in pains and pleasures.
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
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 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?
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
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
The greater perfection a soul aspires after, the more dependent it is upon Divine Grace.
Brother Lawrence
My God, since you are with me and since, by Your will, I must occupy myself with external things, please grant me the grace to remain with You, in Your presence. Work with me, so that my work might be the very best. Receive as an offering of love both my work and all my affections.
Brother Lawrence
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 need only to recognize GOD intimately present with us, to address ourselves to Him every moment, that we may beg His assistance for knowing His will in things doubtful, and for rightly performing those which we plainly see He requires of us, offering them to Him before we do them, and giving Him thanks when we have done.
