 Pain, if sanctified, creates tenderness toward others.

Charles Spurgeon

Misery loves company also applies to sin. You have been redeemed through Christ, get up! Do not let guilt or shame keep you from Him.

One of my favourite parts of Orthodox theology is that, not only does it say "no, non-Christians are not categorically damned" it follows that up with "and no, we're not citing a prooftext from the Scriptures or the Fathers for that, the only evidence we need for this is that God is good and loves mankind."

Guys, always remember to pray for your enemies, even if they seem like horrible people, it's the best we can do.

“i didn’t intend to start thinking about god, / it just happened. / how god, or the gods, are invisible, / quite understandable. / but holiness is visible, entirely.”
