БОГ

My heart speaks more than words can express. And strange! As soon as my heart wants to start a conversation with you, the feeling of prayer flows into it and carries me away into that darkness that serves as a veil for God, a light for His rational creatures. Get there too! It is good to forget a person in God, because God remembers him. It is good for a person to be dead in God; this is true life, life by the Spirit. The spirit both deadens and gives life. Let the one who understands understand, but from the unworthy, let the spiritual word be hidden in its light, unapproachable to the carnal mind. From here, from the darkness or from the sky - call it what you want - I look at you. I take comfort in the fact that you wanted to bring your vessel to the service of God - not to another service, temporary, empty, perishable. “I bless God for this, I will glorify Him!” 156. Know: God rules the world, He has no unrighteousness. But His truth differs from human truth. God rejected human truth, and it is sin, lawlessness, fall. God established His all-holy truth, the truth of the Cross - Heaven opens it to us. It pleases Him that we enter the Kingdom of Heaven through many sorrows. God gave Himself an image of the fulfillment of this truth: He, having become human as one of His worshiped hypostases, subjected Himself to all the various humiliations and insults. His Holy Face was subjected to strangulation and spitting. He did not turn His Face away from them. He was imputed with the lawless, among them, condemned with them to the blasphemous, commercial execution, and handed over to it. – What kind of people? - The most vile villains and hypocrites. We are all irresponsible before this supreme Truth - either we must follow it, or the words will apply to us: “He who does not accept his cross and comes after Me is not worthy of Me... He who is not with Me is on Me” (Matthew 10:38, 12:30). 157. You might be interested in:
