Without asking

Without asking

The Lord allows all kinds of things to happen to us against our will, because if we kept doing things the way we wanted to, we would not be prepared for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Neither heaven nor earth will accept those who insist on their will.

God has a divine plan for each of us, and we must obey it.

We must accept life as it is given to us, without asking, “why me.”

Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnitsa
