Now I realize that I am not just one among billions! I am the object of Your love and personal care! My sin cast me on the road, like a discarded trash! No one to look at me or ask about me! No one to carry me out of the mud of the road and away of its risks! You passed by me and looked at me with Your divine eyes!

“For indeed He came to do away with the old things, and to call us to a greater country. Therefore He does all, to deliver us from things unnecessary, and from our affection for the earth…. For we were not born for this end, that we should eat and drink and be clothed, but that we might please God, and attain unto the good things to come. Therefore as things here are secondary in our labor, so also in our prayers let them be secondary.”St John Chrysostom #SeekGod #DoNotbeAnxious #TreasureinHeaven #SundayoftheTreasures #Lent #fasting #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
