“It is indeed good for us to be here, as you have said Peter. It is good to be with Jesus and to remain here forever. What greater happiness or higher honor could we have, than to be with God…to be made like him and to live in His Light?” -St. Athanasius of Sinai
Always remember, faith is essential, trust is necessary, and confidence in God’s Love for us is non-negotiable, if we are to survive the waves that the fallen world throws at us
“A fish that is alive, always swims against the flow of water…while one that is dead, floats in the water and is carried downstream. A true Christian is one that goes against the current of a sinful age. A false one, is one that is swept away by its swiftness.”
What must we do, to gain the sort of confidence to be able to walk through life, literally without a “care in the world”…knowing that God has everything in His control?
There is no obstacle in life that is new or unique to our own place and time. The Saints, through the work of the Holy Spirit, offer us a chance through their lives and experience, to prepare ourselves for everything that life throws at us, if we only had the patience to listen to their coaching!
