St. John Chrysostom says: Those who drink the bitter medicine first have to drink it unwillingly but they feel comfortable after that… You suffer now thus is chastening… Every chastening seems to be for sorrow however this is not the case.

“Just as a lamp lights up a dark room so the fear of God when it penetrates the heart of a man illuminates him teaching him all the virtues and commandments of God.” – Abba James #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings #light #darkness #hearts #gloryofgod

Contemplations
Knowing that God is faithful and mighty have faith in Him and you will share what is His. If you are depressed you do not believe. We all believe that God is mighty and know that everything is possible with Him. As for your own affairs believe with faith in Him about them too for He is able to work miracles in you also. – Abba Euprepios

Contemplations
The more one easily conquers the less one needs combat. But who would fight within himself if there were no opposition from self? And why is there opposition from self if nothing remains in us to be healed and cured? Therefore the sole cause of our fighting is weakness in ourselves. Again weakness cautions against pride. Truly that strength and virtue by which one is not proud in this life where he could be proud is made perfect in weakness. – Augustine of Hippo

Contemplations
We deny ourselves when we avoid what is old in ourselves striving to gain always what is new “until we come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” (Ephes. 4:13). St. Augustine says: “If man through his love for himself is lost surely through denying himself he will be found! Man should withdraw from himself not for worldly affairs but to get attached to God.”
