Why do you fear sufferings when the Lord has assured us that not one of our hairs can fall without our Heavenly Father’s permission? He is the Beneficent, as the church calls Him in all prayers; therefore, we submit to Him our lives. If He allows temptations, it is for our own good, just as the clay surrenders to the hands of the potter. Even if we enter the oven, it is sufficient that the eyes of the Potter are on us all the time. He knows the right temperature, the correct position inside the oven, and the time needed to prepare us as vessels for honor. When sickness or troubles surround a child, his father and mother show more love to him and give him more attention; likewise, when tribulations surround a believer, God and the church are more compassionate toward him. – Fr Tadros Malaty . . #endurehardships #glorytocome #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox #orthodoxy
