By H.H. Pope Shenouda III
If you find something good in you, do not be puffed up and do not boast. Do not fight yourself with self righteousness but attribute every glory to God. It is His due not yours, for good is made by Him as He is the benevolent and creator of all good. He is even good itself, and goodness.. Without Him you are nothing, you can do nothing. So, do not rob God's glory and ascribe it to yourself. You may shine like the moon and your light increases till you become a full moon, but, in all this remember that the moon is a dark satellite which derives its light from the sun and has no light in itself. If the sun disappears, the moon will not appear because it is dark by its nature.. Now, would the moon dare speak of its light before the sun! It is the same with you, my beloved, in the presence of God.
