“No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.” John 15:15 . “We need to achieve the desire of our Friend (the Lord Jesus) and reveal to Him the secrets of our hearts. We must not ignore His trust. Let us show Him our hearts so that He may open His heart for us…So a friend, if he is truly a friend, does not hide anything, but rather pours out…

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down ones life for his friends.” John 15:13 . “The Lord Jesus Christ lay down His life not only for His friends, but also for His enemies and asked for forgiveness for those who crucified Him. The greatest proof of His love for them is that He sacrificed Himself for their sake as no human being may do on the same level. For He, the Creator sacrificed Himself for His creatures that He loved exceedingly. He died for men when they were His enemies.” Father Tadros Yacoub Malaty #Love #nogreaterlove…

“Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:24 . “They had not asked for anything until that moment. However, when He who will teach them to pray comes, they will ask for union with God the Father through the only begotten Son in the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus knows that a man’s spirit, that is to say, his rational mind that was created in the Lord’s image, cannot be satisfied except by Him alone.” Father Tadros Yacoub Malaty #askandyouwillreceive #prayer #dailyreadings #Holy50 #coptic #orthodox #ChristisRisenandAscended

Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. – Psalm 51:10 . . . Be ashamed when you sin, don’t be ashamed when you repent [To repent means to have a change of heart and mind. It is not simply a feeling of sorrow ,but a psycho/spiritual growth away from evil/death and a turning to God/life]. Sin is the wound, repentance is the medicine. Sin is followed by shame; repentance is followed by boldness [Boldness means to beg God for undeserved mercy]. Satan has overturned this order and given boldness to sin and…

“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.” – 1 John 5:14 . “Those who possess technical skills and know how to repair things are fully confident that when the need arises they will be able to do so. Similarly these holy men, John and other apostles, knew from their own experience that if they asked God for what was pleasing and acceptable to him, they would obtain it. For God is most generous to those who have this knowledge and will grant the requests of…
