CQOD: 10/13/06 -- Brother Lawrence: dealing with our sins

Christian Quotation of the Day

October 13, 2006

Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066

Meditation:
    ... let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
    -- Isaiah 55:7 (ESV)

---

Quotation:
    [He said:] That all possible kinds of mortification, if they were void of the love of God, could not efface a single sin.. That we ought, without anxiety, to expect the pardon of our sins from the blood of Jesus Christ, only endeavoring to love Him with all our hearts. That God seemed to have granted the greatest favors to the greatest sinners, as more signal monuments of His mercy.
    ... Brother Lawrence (c.1605-1691)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, I rely on Your mercy more than ever.
