A Picture of 1 Corinthians 10:31

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31

Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection
(from The Practice of the Presence of God)
(parenthesis mine for clarity)

Everything was the same to him…
every place…
every job.

The good brother found God everywhere…
as much while he was repairing shoes as while he was praying with the community (of Believers).

He was in no hurry to go on retreats, because he found the same God to love and adore in his ordinary work as he did in the depths of the desert (where he spent his time alone with God).

Brother Lawrence’s means of going to God was to do everything for the love of Him.

He was thus indifferent about what he did.

All that mattered was that he did it for God.

It was He (God) and not the activity, that he considered.

Brother Lawrence knew that the pettiness of the deed would not diminish the worth of his offering, because God, needing nothing, considers in our works only the love that accompanies them.
