423. Будешь гордиться – дело твое никуда не годится

Sister in the Lord Pelagia! I received your letter, in which you write that great sorrow befell you - you were deprived of your place in the church, and you even stopped going to church. - Oh, Pelagia, Pelagia! Do you know what your name means? Pelagia is a Greek word that means “sea” in Russian. You know that if they throw you into the sea, everything will drown in it. Try to apply this lesson to yourself. Whatever sorrow befalls you, say to yourself: “After all, I am the sea, in me, with the help of God, every sorrow will drown.” And pray to the Lord that it will always be like this, that is, that all sorrow will drown in you without a trace, as if it had never happened. It doesn't matter that you were removed from your place. There are many places in the church of God. Don’t chase after your old place, just pray harder to God and don’t be proud. And if you are proud, your work is no good. Peace to you and God's blessing. You might be interested in:
