For the benefit of the soul


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
