Grou: intention and service

Sunday, July 16, 2017
    Commemoration of Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury, 1099
Meditation:
    Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
    —1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)
Quotation:
    It is quite possible to perform very ordinary actions with so high an intention, as to serve God therein better than in far more important things done with a less pure intention.
    ... Jean Nicolas Grou (1731-1803), The Hidden Life of the Soul, London: Rivingtons, 1870, p. 3 (see the book)
    See also 1 Tim. 4:12; Rom. 12:18; Phil. 4:8; 2 Tim. 2:22; 2 Pet. 1:5-8
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, let me not forget the small things that are great in Your Kingdom. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
