   "A man needs to satisfy his conscience towards God by not despising God’s   
   precepts, even those concerning things which are not seen by men or those   
   things for which one is not accountable to men. For example, did he neglect   
   his prayers? If an evil thought came into his heart, was he vigilant and   
   did he keep control of himself or did he entertain it? He sees his neighbor   
   saying or doing something; does he suspect it is evil and condemn him? To   
   put it simply, all the hidden things that happen inside us, things which no   
   one sees except God and our conscience, we need to take account of. This is   
   what I mean by our conscience towards God."   
      
   St. Dorotheos of Gaza.   
      
   "For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in   
   Him, but also to suffer for His sake," Philippians 1:29   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
