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 #coptic #orthodox #apostlesfast

“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” – John 16:33 . “He allows us also to overcome by looking up to the Head of our faith. We walk the same path that He passed through for our sake. We are not dead because we struggle with death. We are immortal because of our victory. Does death corrupt our bodies? So what? Our bodies will not remain corrupt, but will rather be in a better state. Let us then overcome the world. Let us run toward eternity. Let us follow the King. Let us prepare the memorial of victory. Let us despise the worldly pleasures. We do not need much effort to achieve this. Let us turn to heaven so that we may conquer the world! When you do not desire the world, you overcome it. When you deride it you vanquish it. We are strangers and passengers. Let us not grieve for any sad thing related to the world.” – St. John Chrysostom #beofgoodcheer #inthisworldyouwillhavetribulation #ihaveovercometheworld #overcometheworld #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
