Seek comfort in the One, great, and general Goodness; for in Him you will find satisfaction of everything! As for you, “O my soul, bless the Lord, who satisfies your mouth with good things” (1-5).

Who could match my goodness? I am a father, a brother, a groom, a home, food, clothing, and source of everything you wish for; I shall never leave you in need of anything! I shall be also a Servant to you, as I came, not to be served, but to serve. I am likewise, a friend, a member, a head, a brother, a sister, and a mother; I am everything… just be My friend! For your sake I became poor, and turned into a beggar! For your sake I prayed, and was buried! In heaven I intercede to the Father on your behalf! For Me you are everything… a brother, a partner in inheritance, and a friend! What more do you want? Why do you desert Him who loves you, and labour for the world?St John Chrysostom#labourforthefoodthatendures #nottheworld #oureverything #ourshepherd #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #holybible
