We should fear both of them; namely getting burnt by temptations and getting destroyed by the water of corruption. See fire will not burn you and water will not destroy you; You pass through fire to water then pass through water as well. That is why in the sacramental rites fire is used first and then you come over to baptism; cross over from the fire to the water and from the water to renewal.

God does not judge the beauty of his work by the charm of the eyes and He does not form the same idea of beauty that we form. What He finds beautiful is what in its perfection shows all the fitness of art and what works toward the usefulness of its purpose.

This is how scripture depicts to us the Supreme Artist praising each one His works. This earth air sky water day night all visible things remind us of our Benefactor. We shall not therefore give occasion to sin we shall not give any room to the Enemy within us if by constant recollection we keep God ever dwelling in our hearts- St Basil . . #creation #beauty #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #dailyreadings #orthodox
