On the value of insults

Nothing is so useful to the beginner as insults.  The beginner who bears insults is like a tree that is watered every day.  Abba Isaiah

  1. Yes!If love requires that , that is very valuable, "The value of insults" is based on love, for love, by love, of love, if love requires the price of being insulted, just as Jesus accepted insults for the reason of loving us. That is the highest price, the best offering, He paid for us, because of love.
