St. Theophanes the Recluse
trouble when, in the heart of a man well fed and contented, and where as well when he hungry! Beggar and bitter cold running under windows and requests. Went whether he would, if he had a piece of bread?
when he feels the trouble, then trouble and labor of a human no end. The same with my heart: When will affect his sense of misfortune, poverty and hunger, the rest does not give any body nor soul: and do something, and another podvignis. Then it is samozhaleniyu There is no place, and every labor is not in labor. But hunger and distress the Lord sends praying and making supplication. This is a sign of health. The patient has no appetite, it is full, even though by week do not eat.
Bird, tied a short thread, vsporhnet and fall, and fall vsporhnet. When the thread is long, the bird and fly high and fly far, and all attract to the same place. If I do not train, flew to the bird in the red meadow. And in a large cage birds fly, but not all at liberty. How to come off? When fire threatens
tied, it blows so hard that not only the thread a little, but the iron chain perervet. Therefore, not a big deal: you light the trouble around him. What
then ignite trouble around him? This is - a deep sense of insecurity of their situation and the dangers of extreme from which there is no other salvation, as in the Lord Jesus Christ. This feeling will drive us to the Lord and make constantly crying: "Help me, protect!" It was all saints and never left. Contrary to a a sense of contentment with their situation, which soothes the rights and repay it all care about their salvation. God have mercy on us from this!
