Sometimes a
person carelessly proclaims that God is merciful and therefore, He will save
him…
Yes, God is
merciful and God is the One who can save us, but on the other hand, the
Scripture is very clear on this matter, that I must see Him and have faith in
Him, that we are required to be loyal to Him by keeping the commandments,
through the Eucharistic life, through the Jesus prayer….
How can I do
this? I can do it by forcing myself.
In other
words, the words “I want” and “I don’t want” should no longer exist…
This is over
ever since I realized that Jesus Christ is the humanized God.
After this,
it is not what I want that matters, but rather what the Lord wants.
Therefore,
“Lord, Thy will be done”, because my will is a servant of the fallen nature.
Archpriest Theodore Gignadze
