Quotes

God smiles when we praise and thank Him continually. Few things feel better than receiving heartfelt praise and appreciation from someone else. God loves it, too. An amazing thing happens when we offer praise and thanksgiving to God. When we give God enjoyment, our own hearts are filled with joy. William Law
William Law quote: "Love and pity and wish well to every soul in the world; dwell..."
Love and pity and wish well to every soul in the world; dwell in love, and then you dwell in God. William Law
This, and this alone, is Christianity, a universal holiness in every part of life, a heavenly wisdom in all our actions, not conforming to the spirit and temper of the world but turning all worldly enjoyments into means of piety and devotion to God. William Law
Devotion signifies a life given, or devoted to God. He therefore is the devout man, who lives no longer to his own will, or the way and spirit of the world, but to the sole will of God, who considers God in everything, who serves God in everything, who makes all the parts of his common life, parts of piety, by doing everything in the name of God, and under such rules as are conformable to his Glory. William Law
Would you know who is the greatest saint in the world? It is not he who prays most or fasts most; it is not he who gives most alms or is most eminent for temperance, chastity or justice; but it is he who is always thankful to God, who wills everything that God wills, who receives everything as an instance of God’s goodness and has a heart always ready to praise God for it. Could you therefore work miracles, you could not do more for yourself than by this thankful spirit, for it turns all that... William Law
All people desire what they believe will make them happy. If a person is not full of desire for God, we can only conclude that he is engaged with another happiness. William Law
God seeth different abilities and frailties of men, which may move His goodness to be merciful to their different improvements in virtue. William Law
Grant that I may worship and pray unto Thee with as much reverence and godly fear, as if I saw the heavens open and all the angels that stand around Thy throne. Amen. William Law
William Law quote: "If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God first, it will in..."
If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God first, it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead. William Law
William Law quote: "Nothing hath separated us from God but our own will, or rather..."
Nothing hath separated us from God but our own will, or rather our own will is our separation from God. William Law
