He, who is loving, and is perpetually attached to God, would not be harmed by the violent waves, however abundant they may be, but, on the contrary, he would emerge out of them with a new strength. – St John Chrysostom . . He treated the problem of suffering not by eliminating it, but by entering through it as the Author of faith or Leader and Accomplisher of faith, so we may enter with Him under His care, following His footsteps. We hide in Him so that sufferings may have no dominion over us. He suffered because of love, thus He changed the concept of suffering. It is no more a sign of sin and Divine wrath as a fruit of rebellion, but rather a union with the Crucified Christ and fellowship with the Holy Trinity. – Fr Tadros Malaty . . #unitetohim #hedoesnteliminatesuffering #hetransformsit #rejoice #hehasovercome #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodoxy
