For April 13th:
“Set your minds on things that are above, not
on things that are on earth.”
Colossians 3:2
More words of wisdom
from Brother Lawrence of the
Resurrection, 1600s…
(See the March 9th
entry for background information about this obscure French monk).
“…This
walk he said, is all about leaving behind forever everything that doesn’t lead
to God. Doing this helps us get used to a never-ending conversation with Him.
It’s simple and free.
(He)
believed all we need is to recognize how God is present in our lives here and
now, to focus on Him at all times, to ask for His help when we need it, to
search out His will when we’re not sure what to do, and to do those things well
that He’s clearly given to us…
Conversation
with God also leads us to praise, adore, and love Him nonstop for being so good
and perfect…
…It’s
all about Him, not us…”
