☦️🕯️“If you see your neighbor in sin, don’t look only at this, but also think about what he has done or does that is good, and infrequently trying this in general, while not partially judging, you will find that he is better than you.”🕯️☦️

☦️🕯️"You must know, my child, that nothing happens without reason or by chance. Everything has its purpose. Not even a pine needle falls from a tree unless God wills it. Therefore, you should not worry about everything that happens to you.
Look! You worry about your wife, sometimes about your children. Yet they elevate you spiritually. If they were not there, you would not progress spiritually at all. That is how God wills it. But you are very sensitive, and your stomach and gut hurt from too much worry.
It is not good when someone is overly sensitive, like you, because excessive worry, as in your case, causes various bodily illnesses. And do you know that all mental illnesses are demons? If we confess, the Lord will give us strength.
If we have Christ within us...
Let us not be troubled by the end times, nor by the Antichrist and his signs. Because, know this: if we have Christ within us, the Antichrist can do us no harm—none at all."☦️

“Love every man in spite of his sins. Never reject anyone, for in rejecting another, you reject Him who created him and loves him. Love all as yourself, and strive to show this love in deeds.”
