Its true strength and outer activity do not appear, except when various temptations start to attack it. Then, its fiery faith in the Lord starts to breathe, and a kind of divine love starts to provoke, not to be flared alone, but to flare every thing around. -St. Ambrose..#dailyreadings #coptic #orthodoxy #faith is a #giftfromGod #sympathises #compassionate when we feel #weakinfaith and #tempted #refuge
