Whom having not seen, ye love. I Peter 1:8.
The trust we put in God honors Him much, and draws down great graces. It is impossible not only that God should deceive, but also that He should long let a soul suffer which is perfectly resigned to Him, and resolved to endure everything for His sake.
Nicholas Herman, 1666.
Also known as Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection(c.1614- 12Feb1691) served as a lay brother in a Carmelite monestary in Paris. Christians commonly remember him for the intimacy he expressed concerning his relationship to God as recorded in a book compiled after his death, the classic Christian text, The Practice of the Presence of God.
