Do Not Neglect to Be Aware of God

Deuteronomy 4:7; Psalm 63:6; 145:18; James 4:8; 1 Peter 2:3–4

Think on God, by day, by night, in your business, and even in your diversions. He is always near you and with you; leave Him not alone. You would think it rude to leave a friend alone, who had come to visit you: why then must God be neglected? Do not then forget Him, think often of Him, adore him unceasingly, live and die with Him: this is the glorious employment of a Christian, in a word, this is our profession; if we do not know it, we must learn it.

Brother Lawrence (1614 – 1691)
