Even if it be disease or poverty… for seen and unseen benefits… and for those which we receive against our will …but also whenever we are either in poverty, or in sicknesses, or are being insulted, then let us intensify our thanksgiving; thanksgiving, I mean, not in words, nor with the tongue, but in deeds and works, in mind and in heart; let us give thanks to Him with all our souls – St John Chrysostom . . #gratitude #thankGod #ineverycondition #concerningeverycondition #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #orthodoxy

“Many blessings such as health shelter clothing and food you have yet you never give thanks because you consider them normal matters and take them for granted. But those that are deprived of them are aware of and feel the values of such blessings and if they obtain them they give a heartfelt thanks. Always give thanks to our Lord.” – H.H.

“What then? Do you command us to live for display and vain glory? Far from it…..but Let your light shine. That is Let your virtue be great and the fire abundant and the light unspeakable. For when virtue is so great it cannot lie hidden though its pursuer shade it over ten thousand fold. Present unto them an irreprehensible life and let them have no true occasion of evil speaking; and then though there be thousands of evil-speakers no man shall be able to cast any shade upon you.” – St. John Chrysostom #GlorifyGod #Shine #Light #LightOfTheWorld #SaltOfTheEarth #Coptic #Orthodox…
