0978 Earth way without God's help....

June 24, 1939: Book 18

Therefore hear the divine voice: The path upwards is passable for every human being if he walks it with divine help, yet it is insurmountable for those who do not need My support. And the more stubbornly they persist in their resistance, the more formidable the obstacles pile up in front of them and it remains a hopeless battle to overcome them. The human being grows weary and gives up the struggle, and he turns to the broad road that leads downwards. All instructions from above go unheeded, yet the world's call is heeded, and this to the detriment of the soul.... And My help and grace is ready for everyone, yet it remains unused.... earth rushes by and could nevertheless earn people unspeakable blessings if they respected them. Love dies out among humanity, and thus the human being also neglects to acquire grace through loving activity, and once again an aid is lost to them and the soul is in great distress. For the human being does not redeem himself, he also rejects all means of grace.... he also does not make use of prayer to Me which could bring him help and is thus deprived of all spiritual nourishment. He does not desire the refreshment of heaven and goes through earthly life unrefreshed and unfortified, which nevertheless makes demands on him if his soul is to free itself from its fetters. Thus it will look unspeakably bleak for such souls who believe they don't need God's help, and without loving support they will hardly be saved; yet My love and My mercy constantly tries to guide these souls onto the right path and calls and entices every earthly child to long for the father and to stretch out its hands to Me....

Amen
