Orthodox Quote for June 1
“By His grace ‘All things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose’ (Romans 8:28).And yet, in the moment, it can be incredibly hard to remember all of this. As much as I want to abandon myself to the divine providence, to trust in God and His great love and mercy for me, the suffering of the present moment seems to defeat me. I might not curse God but I often do wonder why His plan seems to require my pain. ”
(Fr. Gregory Jensen quoted in pravmir.ru)
