0640 Let the little children come to Me....

October 26, 1938: Book 14

Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them. The lord's words should bear witness to the lord's immense love and goodness, Who accepts all who long to come to Him. Man often does not realize how easy it is to connect with the lord.... how he only needs to open his heart.... how he only needs to be willing to hear the lord's words and how the father already draws near to His child and listens to it.... Let your thoughts wander to the lord and saviour, and do not resist them, and you will soon come to Him yourselves, and He will bless you.... And once you have opened your heart to Him so that the lord can enter it, He will never leave you, He is concerned about you in constant love to protect you from harm. He wants to take up residence in you Himself, and so that this residence becomes worthy of Him, He gives you strength and perseverance to love Him and thus come ever closer to Him. Like children you should throw yourselves to the father's heart, you should ask Him in childlike trust that He, as father, may look after you constantly and.... you should endeavour to establish a really intimate relationship so that you turn to Him without shyness and no anxiety or fear prevents you from opening your heart to Him. He has created you and destined you to enjoy all the glory of heaven one day and, as His children, to share in all power and glory.... But now you must also see your father in Him, you must love Him with all your heart, ask Him and entrust yourselves to Him, as the relationship of a child to its father demands.... In childlike love you must do everything the father asks of you, you must keep His commandments and practice love so that the father's eye rests favourably on His child and He blesses you. And if you are blessed by Him you will fare well on earth and you will find the strength to turn your full attention to the salvation of your soul, for love for the father is able to do everything....

Amen
