Let God take you wherever He wants to
and make what He wants out of you. Can it be that you don’t have such courage
to support His plan? At least, confess it: “Forgive me, my God. I have no
further courage”. It’s all right. Don’t go further. Humble yourself
accordingly, but don’t “close the door” for others thinking this is the end of
the road. The road goes further on.
Sadness, melancholy, whatever else
negative… throw them away. How should you go about throwing them away? Don’t
pay the least attention to them and they will let go of you. Take leave of them
and they will take leave of you. Don’t take them into account, don’t give them
any credit, and they will go away by themselves.
You will get carried away by these
negative con- ditions and become prey to the devil unless you are careful and
remain unaffected by your own will, thought and judgment.
Archimandrite Symeon Kragiopoulos (†)
