“It is obvious that God loves us from the beginning of our creation and cares for everyone at all times and in all places. This love was realised in an amazing way when the Son of God, the second Person of the Trinity was incarnate for his free redemption which was completed on the cross for the salvation of man. The love of God is an accepted fact. What is boggling for our minds and difficult to understand is why God permits man to suffer, not only the evil and sinners but also those whom God loves. If we acknowledge that God is perfect in His love toward man, we should acknowledge His wisdom in all He does. As God is perfect in His love He is also perfect in His wisdom. The difficulties and tribulations which come to man with their sufferings are not a sign of God’s displeasure with man. Rather they are for the good of man.” Bishop Youannes, late Bishop of Gharbia #peace #intribulation #Christhasovercome #prayforegypt #copticmartyrs #copticchurch #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings
