.........When we remember that......

 when we remember that.....all things work together for good to those who love God....

 

when we remember, that trials are not a punishment, they don’t show that God is turning away His face from us nor that He has abandoned us, but trials are a gift of His to His elect. They are Christ’s spiritual thermometer which He uses so as to check the warmth of our faith and love for Him ....

 when we remember, that we are not sheep without a shepherd, neither a boat without a captain...

 

when we remember this word of the Scripture:...whom the Lord loves He instructs, and chastises every son He receives...

 

when we remember , that ...narrow and difficult is the way that leads to life, and there are few who find it, 

    though, wide and broad is the way that leads to destruction,  and there are many who go in by it...

 

when we remember, that the path to resurrection passes through golgotha...

 

when we remember, that God never allows a tribulation more than what we can bear, and that it is always for good.

 

when we remember, that nothing comes to pass unless God, who is kind by nature, allows it to happen...

 

when we remember, that the very hairs of our head are all numbered, as the Gospel says...

 

when we remember, that He suffered, though being innocent, and that He borne our flesh, and He knows our strength and our weakness....

 

when we remember, that when we carry our cross, our tribulation, then we take part in Christ‘s Sufferings,  but of course, in His Resurrection as well.....

 

when we remember, how all our Saints, Christ, PANAGIA, and those who pleased God passed their lives ...

 

when we remember, that father and mother never intend to do, and they never do, anything which will harm their children, thus God even more than them...

 

when we remember, that the Cross, brought forth Resurrection......

 

when we remember, that Troja, didn’t fall in one day, but it took ten years...

 

when we remember, that the rainbow always shines after the rainfall and the storm, and never during them.....

 

when we remember that midnight is always the beginning of a new day...

 

when we remember, that the divine grace transforms that which is sour into sweet, the darkness into light, that which is unfair into blessing, the bitter things…into spiritual… dowries... ...

 

...then, with patience , faith , 

 hope which produces salvation and blessing, 

uncomplainingly, but with zeal and spiritual nobility, we face difficulties as a blessing...

 

blessing and tribulation coming from God, have the same salvaging purpose and aim.

 

they differ only in names, and in the way that we encounter, the difficulty and the trial.......................

with wishes and love
