“”The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” that is, the word of faith which we preach: that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:8-9 . . “God who dwelt in the Virgin’s womb to take flesh from her, desires to dwell in your heart to fill you with love. God’s preferred dwelling place is in you. God does not delight in heaven as His dwelling place, but He stands at your door knocking that you might open for Him… the blessing of the Feast of the Nativity is concentrated in the phrase ‘Immanuel, God with us’ so if you, my brother, feel that you are with God, and God is with you, then you would indeed be enjoying the blessed Feast of Nativity. Do not think that the feast is the day on which we conclude our fast or start breaking our fast… but the day from the spiritual point of view is communion with Immanuel, who is God with us… He is with me at all times and in all places. In every direction I feel His presence” – Pope Shenouda . . #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodoxy #holybible #immanuel #godwithus

Or what woman, having ten silver coins, if she loses one coin, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? Luke 15:8 . . “Even though we are dust and ashes, God makes us feel that we matter to Him. How wonderful is this living God who gives so much attention. The limitless being, the One Great God, looks down from His holy heights, to the insignificant creatures on earth. Even if one small coin is lost, he is concerned about it, and searches it until He finds it… God is with you whether you are good or whether you fall… thus we rejoice in the Lord at all times, because He is with us at all times, whether we are with Him or not, and whether we feel His presence or not” – Pope Shenouda . #lostcoin #coptic #dailyreadings #orthodoxy #holybible

Walk as children of light for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. Ephesians 5:9 . . “God is the true light and through Him we see light. The nearer we come to God the true light, the more we shine. This resembles the light of the sun and that of the moon. The sun itself is light but the moon is a dark body. It receives light from the sun. The closer the moon is to the sun, the brighter the light reflected on it (by the sun) is… anyone who lives in companionship with God receives God’s light which overflows upon him, then he shines and people see his light” Pope Shenouda . #light #childofthelight #reflectinghim #orthodoxy #coptic #dailyreadings #holybible
