1020 Love.... grace.... word.... comforting words of the father....

July 23, 1939: Book 19

The most intimate contact with the heavenly father is being absorbed in love.... Surrounded by divine grace, the path to eternal life is thus passable, for the father Himself leads His child and the latter confidently places itself under His protection. And again it is the word He gives to His own which proclaims His infinite love.... so that they will not be abandoned and walk alone on earth, He is in the midst of them in the word, for the word is the lord Himself.... The word is His love, His grace and the constant proof of His concern for the children of earth.... Love always makes Him remember His own, He turns His grace towards them and He brings Himself very close to people through His word. And if you humans now feel the closeness of the divine lord, if you feel cared for by His love and receive His grace daily and hourly, then thank Him sincerely for His love and watch and pray.... that it may remain with you and that you may not anger and grieve the father.... that you may not sin against this divine love, which gives you the most precious.... Himself in the word....

He who teaches you, My child, has My instruction and moulds every gift according to your understanding and your will to love.... but what you receive shall increase your love for Me and mould you according to My will, for I want to take abode in your heart and make you My fighter.... I want to give your soul the strength to offer resistance to every danger that approaches you.... I will and it will be.... And the battle for faith will spur you on to increased activity, and standing in the light you will no longer pay attention to danger but only act according to My will. And the fire of My love will take hold of you and ignite your heart.... And all fear of weakness of faith will be overcome, for My child's desire for Me and My love is, after all, its will to serve Me with every step.... And so I take this will of yours and therefore also your heart, for I leave no prayer unanswered which is only for the union with Me.... For I love you, My children, beyond all measure....

Amen
