“He who endures to the end, he shall be saved, said the Lord. Many and various are the trials which the Lord allows to come upon people but the purpose of them all is the same, namely: to heal the people’s souls from sin through this bitterness and thus prepare them for eternal salvation. As hard as it may be for you at times remember two things, first venture Heavenly Father decides on the measure of suffering, and secondly, that He knows your strength. If you ever have a thought about suicide dismiss it as the whispering of the devil.”
St.Nikolai Velimirovich
