“Always see God and His glory
in everything we do, say, and undertake;
that the end we should seek
is to be the most perfect adorers
of God in this life,
as we hope to be through all eternity;
take a firm resolution to overcome,
with God’s grace, all the difficulties
which are met in the spiritual life.”
- Brother Lawrence
of the Resurrection
(Spiritual Maxims)

“As the deer pants for the water,
So my soul longs after You.
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship You.

You're my Friend and You are my Brother,
Even though You are a King.
I love You more than any other,
So much more than anything.”
