0759 Spiritual task of living beings.... inner vision....

January 26, 1939: Book 16

Just keep looking upwards and your thoughts and intentions will always be guided correctly. The soul is so often in danger of becoming fickle, and time and again the lord has to take care of it with the greatest patience and instruct it to strengthen its faith, for the reason for the discouragement and the thinking which depresses the soul only lies in weak faith. It is a kind of compulsion for the soul that, in order to strengthen its faith, it is temporarily kept in a state of depression, for it struggles in it all the more eagerly, since this state bothers it, from which it seeks to free itself. It would be so reassuring for you to recognize the benefits and blessings of the many small resistances and adversities of daily life, so surrender yourselves to divine guidance full of trust and you will never have cause to fear and become weak in faith. And in this certainty receive whatever spiritual teachings you get today:

Every being, no matter how small, is necessary in God's creation, yet man is not aware of the nature and purpose of its task. The external earthly activity can certainly be observed in many, but the spiritual activity, which is the actual purpose of the many small living beings, remains hidden from people and will only be recognized after the body of flesh has been laid aside. If you humans could take a look into the realm of the active spirit world, you would be astonished.... And yet it is even within your power and your will to acquire the ability to see what is hidden. In order to be able to recognize the activity of all, even the smallest beings, it is enough to immerse yourselves in the glories of God's creation, a rock-solid belief in God's love and omnipotence and a willing opening of the heart. And the images will be reflected clearly visible in the human heart, and the earthly child will hear the explanation audibly, the spiritual eye will open up, and the lord Himself will instruct where there is a deep longing for truth and knowledge. And you will recognize the restless activity on earth and in the beyond, you will see that every being has to fulfil its task, which has a far greater spiritual effect than an earthly one, even though the latter activity is likewise necessary for the existence of the whole of creation. For not the smallest being is created purposelessly or uselessly, all creatures perceive the spiritual currents and constantly pass them on so that they fulfil their task as receivers and mediators of spiritual strength and are indispensable as electrons in the whole of creation....

Amen
