One person asked the elder:
– What good thing should I do?
Abba answered him:
Are not all things equal? Scripture says: Abraham was a stranger, and God was with him. Elijah loved silence, and God was with him. David was meek and God was with him. So as your soul desires, then do it, the main thing is to keep your heart in purity.

Be the beautiful person God made you. And this person is only true when bowing before Christ. When we have died to all of the false selves we have created, then every gift of our true selves will shine. Christ will shine. And all will be changed.
