"Deny yourself sensual delights in the hope that, instead of them, you will obtain higher spiritual, heavenly delights. Do good to all in the hope that, in accordance with God's justice, `with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again'; that the good you have done to your neighbor shall be sooner or later returned into your bosom, just as the evil you have done him shall sooner or later be returned into your bosom. Remember that we are one body. `We being many are one bread.' Remember that God is just to the highest degree, to an iota." St. John of Kronstadt, My life in Christ. ----------------------------------------------- "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear." 1 Peter 3:15 Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
