0880 Checking this work.... obstacle and its removal....

April 23, 1939: Book 18

In the utmost perfection of form of the sentence structure of this scripture and at the same time in its profound spiritual content, the one who examines the work should be able to recognize the divine working and measure the divine love by it, which in this way draws close to the people on earth. To a certain extent the conclusion can be drawn that there is no obstacle which separates people on earth from the heavenly father if it is not erected by them.... and that this obstacle can be removed at any time by the human being's active will and the father in heaven reveals Himself to him. The most peculiar counter-arguments and objections will be made and people will try to find a natural explanation because they consider such a connection with the spiritual world, which can be established by people themselves, to be absolutely impossible, yet anyone who is of sound mind.... who lives in union with God himself, will also recognize the voice of the one Who guides and directs him. If he recognizes that nothing in life is coincidental he will also recognize the working of spiritual strength in divine guidance.... he will accept it without hesitation if he commends himself and his soul to the father in heaven and does not presume to judge on his own strength.... With God everything, without Him nothing.... Whoever chooses Him as his guide through earthly life will truly be guided correctly and will not be in danger of going wrong, and thus every step is predefined and leads safely to the aim. People often fail to recognize the extraordinary evidence of divine love because they lack the power of judgement which, however, can only be attained through profound faith. Anyone who is still blind in spirit because faith and love are dead in him will never be able to pass a just judgment, for he is still too attached to the world and only grasps what is part of the world but not the divine mission, which is purest spiritual knowledge and therefore only recognizable to the spiritually striving, fully believing earthly child, which lives on earth in love for the father and should be strengthened and refreshed by Him for this path of life. For the father hears when His child calls to Him and does not let its prayer go unheard....

Amen
