I thank You for all things You have given me. Again I thank You for all things You have taken away from me. I trust that you will recompense me for every pain and hurt. I trust that You will never leave me stranded in the middle of the path. – St. Pope Cyril Vl #trustGod #saviour #redeemer #coptic #orthodox #dailyreadings
