(Rom.13, 1–10; Matt.12, 30–37) “A good man brings good things out of a good treasure, and an evil man brings evil things out of an evil treasure” (Matthew 12:35, Luke 6:45). What you put into the treasury is what you will receive: if you put gold, you will take gold; you put copper - copper and you take it. Of course, even copper can be passed off as gold, but a connoisseur will immediately recognize the forgery. How can we make sure that in our treasury there is only gold, that is, in our heart there is only good? The heart is by nature a treasure of good things; the evil one came later. Take the anatomical knife of attention and non-self-pity; separate out the unnatural and cut it off. The evil will leave one after another, and the good will strengthen and expand; Finally, only one good thing will remain. It's all about how to define natural and unnatural. Don’t listen to today’s natural scientists; They interpret everything topsy-turvy: what is natural is unnatural with them, and what is unnatural is natural with them - they call the evil one good, and the good evil. Look at what the Lord says in the Gospel and the Holy Apostles in their writings, and according to their instructions, determine what is natural. So, finally, you will collect a lot of good things and will carry them out of your heart. Pray to the Holy Spirit: “treasure of good things, treasury good things in my heart!” You might be interested in:
