Orthodox Quote for January 14
“Many of us were taught that when we sin God turns His back on us. The fact, though, is that when we sin, We turn our backs on God. Yet He doesn’t respond by walking away, but by coming to us through His Incarnation and then repeatedly pursuing us as we continue to turn away from Him. We, in response to such love, need to turn back towards Him and then join Him in persistently loving the people whom He made.”
