Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you – 1 Peter 1:3-4 . . Here, we only live few days then pass away. Here, we are nomads, but in heaven, we shall be residents. Here, you are sojourners, where you hear the voice of the Lord, your God say: “Depart!’. While there, in the eternal house in heaven, no one will command you to depart! In the world it is very hot; but there, we shall enjoy great shade under the wings of God. – St Augustine . #pilgrims #strangers #travelinghome #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodoxy #holybible #eternity #heaven
