I am a reader of old books. Sometimes old obscure books. It’s part of how I’m wiring. I guess I’m like a prospector who loves looking for treasure where no one else is looking.
“One of the best methods of cultivating a loving spirit is to acquire the habit of making acts of love and praise to God frequently during the day. Begin the day with a resolution to speak lovingly to our Lord often. The simpler such prayers are, the better. Such as the following have been used by many souls with great profit:
“Jesus, I love You, and I want to love You more.
Lord, You know everything; You know that I love You.
I will love You, O Lord my strength.
O sent out Your light and Your truth that they may lead me.
O God, You are my God; early I will seek You.
Praise the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me praise His Holy Name.
I will magnify You, O God my King, and I will praise Your Name forever and ever.
