Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you (Gospel of Matthew 6:33).
— Believe in God, love Him, strive for Him, remember His great love for you and repay Him for this ineffable, unthinkable, inscrutable love.
Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven!..
— Do not cling to the earth, do not imprison your soul, this Heavenly guest, in the cage of earthly worries and attachments, do not deprive it of the Heavenly Fatherland.
Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven!..
— Love your neighbors, do good to your enemies, lay down your life for your friends — remember that this was commanded by the One who told the disciples Yours:
Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven!..
— If sickness, sorrow and sorrow befall you, remember that this is the cross that the Lord sends to you for your own good, for your salvation — which means the time has come to cleanse your soul with repentance, take up this cross and follow By the Lord:
Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven!..
— Remember that in this Kingdom you have many friends who are ready to lend you a helping hand. They have already found the way and want to show it to you — just turn to them with a warm prayer of faith and hope. And, helping in earthly affairs, they will tell you with the voice of your conscience:
Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven!..
— All this and much more will sound in your soul for a long time, cleansing, enlightening, raising it higher, to such close Heavens, where Christ is at the right hand of God and the Father (see: Col. 3, 1).
This book has a long life: it will be needed today and tomorrow, in a year and in many, many years. Because it is about the main thing, about the very last truth of human existence, about the ultimate truth:
Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven!..
Seek! And everything else, according to the false promise of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, will certainly be added to you.
