The All-good God does not do anything that is not for the benefit of our soul. Whether it be an illness or a temptation, whatever He lets happen to us, He does for our benefit. Many times we grumble, become indignant, and do many bad things. Whereas He, out of His great love, has only our soul’s best interest in mind. For He knows that we are here temporarily and that everything will soon pass. When this exile of ours ends and the true eyes of our soul open, then we shall gratefully thank Him for everything. — Elder Joseph the Hesychast, of blessed memory #orthodox #orthodoxy #orthodoxchurch #christian #wisdomofthefathers #elderjosephthehesychast A photo posted by Wisdom of the Fathers (@wisdomofthefathers) on Mar 11, 2016 at 8:59am PST
