Food For Thought

Here is some food for thought courtesy of Brother Lawrence, The Practice of the Presence of God.
"All things are possible to him who believes; that they are less difficult to him who hopes; that they are more easy to him who loves and still more easy to him who perseveres in the practice of these three virtues."
"The greater perfection a soul aspires after, the more dependent it is upon divine grace."
Brother Lawrence "considered God as the end of all his thoughts and desires, as the mark to which they should tend, and in which they should terminate."
"I engaged in a religious life only for the love of God, and I have endeavored to act only for Him; whatever becomes of me, whether I be lost or saved, I will always continue to act purely for the love of God. I shall have this good at least, that till death I shall have done all that is in me to love Him."
