“If then you have become the throne of God, and the Heavenly Charioteer has seated Himself within you, and your soul is entirely transformed into a spiritual eye, and is made into light; if you too are nourished with the heavenly food of that Spirit and have drunk of the Living Water, and have put on the secret garment of light – if your inward being has experienced all these things and is established in rich unshakable faith, then you are living the Eternal Life, and your soul even in this present time rests with Christ.”St Macarius the Great#Lightoftheworld #childrenofGod…

Let God be in your life. When you serve someone, say ‘I am serving one of God’s children, one of God’s flock, one of God’s people, one of God’s creation. It is for the sake of God that I serve him, for the sake of love that I serve him, and not because of formalities- H.H Pope Shenouda lol..#seegodinwhoyouserve #godinchildren #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodoxy #orthodox

Peacefulness, humility and the tranquility of a life well lived is a appropriate for all Christians, according to the word of Lord. He regards only those who are “poor and of a contrite spirit, and who tremble” at His word… (A Christian’s) character should provoke everyone to imitate your life and conduct… Your good works are indeed, the greatest part of you. They are improved by the honour of confession itself; guard and preserve your confessions by peaceful and virtuous lives. ~ St Cyprian #christian #dailyreading #Honour #coptic #copticorthodox #newyear

“It is better for a man to be silent and be a Christian than to talk and not be one…. Men believe with the heart and confess with the mouth, the one unto righteousness, the other unto salvation. It is good to teach, if the teacher also does what he says.” – St. Ignatius of Antioch #believe #confess #webelieveconfessandglorify #believewiththeheart #confesswiththemouth #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
