‘Love unites us with God for love covers a multitude of sins76. This love stems from reflecting on the Day of Judgment. God never forgets a labor of love even a cup of cold water and He does not forget its reward. When we lift our eyes to the Day of Judgment we desire to see even those who trouble us as angels of God participating in praising and glorifying God. This creates in us a deep spiritual love.’ – St Clement of Alexandria #Coptic #orthodox #Christian #lovecovers #godislove #churchfathers

“Be faithful in what is in your hand then God will entrust you with what is in His hand… If you are faithful in this limited and short life God will entrust you with the eternal infinite life. What is important is that you should be faithful in everything your hand touches no matter how small or little it is.” – H.H Pope Shenouda lll . . #dailyreadings #copticorthodox #orthodoxy #faithful #steward
