When people have zeal and eagerness, God will give everything sufficient for their needs. But if we have a zero level of responsiveness, God’s gifts are blocked by the recipients. Even what they seemed to have is being taken away from them.

If we have compassion on a blind man, we would be given sight, and would be led to the kingdom of heaven; For he who trample here in pits, would eventually become your guide, who takes you up to heaven. -St. John Chrysostom . . #blessedarethosewhogive #giving #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy
“Do you think that a Christian, a servant of the Lord, one who gives his life to good works -do you think that someone dear to the Lord will lack anything?” – St. Cyprian #christianity #copticorthodox #coptic #dailyreading #lent
