"The purpose of God's Providence is to unite, by means of right faith & spiritual love, people
who have been separated by evil. To this end the Savior also suffered for us, in order to gather together the children of God who were scattered." - St. Maximus Confessor
"If you live badly, no one will touch you; but if you begin to live well, there will immediately be afflictions & temptations." - St Barsanuphius of Optina
Life is strange. You arrive with nothing, spend your whole life chasing everything, and still leave with nothing. Make sure your soul gains more than your hands.
@MentzerOcean@Cornpop_baddood Sorry if I wasn’t able to elaborate much on it at the time. Surrendering yourself to The Lord is letting go of your wishes, your goals, and your ambitions to replace them for His ideals. It is allowing and inviting Him to transform you into a vessel to share his glory to others.
@LCSlates@levelsio Yea chargeback system is awful to say the least from a merchant perspective. I’ve had a hotel get a chargeback for a week long stay cause “the lady didn’t like the complimentary breakfast” smh
The red/blue button argument is hilarious because red is for people who see a problem and look for the solution. Blue pushers think there’s people not smart enough to hit the red button so they decide to hit the blue button to save them, dooming themselves to death by stupidity.
