Practice God's Presence

DAY 2 OF 3

This is the continuation of the letter penned by Brother Lawrence just days before he passed into glory:

Dear friend, 

Let all that we seek to do be to know GOD: the more you know Him, the more you will desire to know Him. As 2 Peter 3:18 tells us, we have been called and chosen to know Him, "... but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."

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
