Accustomed Quote by 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.” quote by Brother Lawrence — Download Open image
