You can not say that any righteous man is without affliction: even if he appear to be so, yet we know not his other afflictions. So that of necessity every righteous man must pass through affliction. For it is a declaration of Christ, that the wide and broad way leads to destruction, but the strait and narrow one to life. If then it is possible to enter into life by that means, and is not by any other, then all have entered in by the narrow [way], as many as have departed unto life. – John Chrysostom . . . #GodLovesYou #TrustGod #GodIsGood #GodIsGoodAllTheTime #AllTheTimeGodIsGood #DelightInGod #Coptic #Orthodox #DailyReadings #ChurchFathers

“Great indeed was the faith of Abraham. For while in the case of Abel, and of Noah, and of Enoch, there was an opposition of reasonings only, and it was necessary to go beyond human reasonings; in this case it was necessary not only to go beyond human reasonings, but to manifest also something more. For what was of God seemed to be opposed to what was of God; and faith opposed faith, and command promise.” – Saint John Chrysostom #Faith #TrustGod #TestOfFaith #LordHaveMercy #Coptic #Orthodox #DailyReadings #ChurchFathers

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28 . “It is appropriate for believers to accept what the Holy Spirit suggests to them, rather than choose for themselves a way of life based on their way of thinking and which they think is beneficial to them. There are many issues which seem to be beneficial in man’s eyes but which cause much harm. For example, a person assumes that a quiet life that holds no dangers or troubles is good for him. That is why the Apostle prayed God three times to lift away his troubles and temptations; and the answer came to him: ‘My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness’, (2 Corinthians 12: 8, 9). In other words, Let us leave all matters in the hands of the Holy Spirit so that they may be transformed for the edification of our souls.” St John Chrysostom #Godspurpose #Allthingsworkforgood #SurrendertoGod #submittoGod #trustGod #faith #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
