It is not befitting to correlate God’s presence in our lives with how comfortable we are in this world. Problems and trials are not a sign that God has abandoned us. God allows such things to come our way so that we may receive blessings, crowns, gain spiritual experiences…and become purified (c.f. 1 Peter 5:10, James 1:12, James 1:2-8, 1 Peter 1:7)… Therefore, be strong and of good cheer during trials; do not let problems and tribulations conquer you, but conquer them by your faith (c.f. 1 Peter 1:7). ~ The Thrice Blessed Pope Shenouda III #beofgoodcheer #tribulations #overcome #dailyreadings…
