1073 Rejecting divine grace.... easy way of life....

August 27, 1939: Book 20

Let it be a warning to you that you must not with impunity presume to reject the grace of God, for you will remain weak in spirit, you will walk blindly, and that alone is a judgement for your soul, which you yourselves have caused.... And grasp it rightly: you are depriving yourselves of unspeakably marvellous things.... To stand in the grace of God is a relief for a person on earth, which he himself does not even regocnize to the full extent, but one day he will become aware of it when he looks back on his path through life.... when he realizes how unspeakably he had to struggle and half his strength was needed to do so using the means of grace which were at his disposal.... and he rejected them out of arrogance.... This will create a state of remorse for him that is truly a terrible punishment for him.... How often does the human being have the opportunity that he only needs to grasp the grace coming to him but his will consciously rejects it, and only because he feels strong enough himself and does not believe he needs help from above. What is man as long as he lives on earth.... But only a creature struggling for perfection.... The eternal creator is truly not so unreasonable as to demand more from His creatures than they can easily fulfil. However, man himself complicates his struggle through his own will. As soon as God sets man a task, He also has the relief ready for him, for it is only His infinite love that wants to offer His creature incomparably marvellous things for eternity. And so the demands He places on people must also be based on His love.... thus He also promises them all the means to fulfil the requirements.... And it only requires childlike humility to accept these aids, which are so lovingly offered, from the father's hand in order to effortlessly cover the path to the top. After all, the sun of divine love shines uninterruptedly for you humans, it wants to illuminate your path of life and warm you with its rays, and if you willingly surrender to its beneficial effect you must also mature in your soul, and then you will have made use of divine grace and made the path on earth easier for you through your will....

Amen
