1391 Secret of the easy life on earth....

April 25, 1940: Book 23

Pay attention to the finest voice in you, it will show you right, and so you hear the will of the lord, and when you obey it, the power also comes to you from God.... This is the secret of an easy life on earth.... Wherever you endeavour to do justice to the divine will, no earthly burden will weigh you down, and thus you must seriously examine yourselves to what extent you have complied with the lord's will if earthly life brings you hardship and worry. You must subject your thoughts, your actions to a serious examination as to how far they correspond to divine will, to His commandments imparted to you, and you will discover many a deficiency in yourselves which you must now endeavour to remedy. And earthly life will be easier to bear, for God blesses everyone who is willing and respects His commandments. And He has to let you feel this pressure time and again so that you will not become tired and careless in moulding yourselves according to His will. He knows the state of your soul, He knows about your shortcomings, He cannot hinder your free will and His concern is for your spiritual progress.... therefore He cannot leave you in spiritual adversity and must draw your attention to the fact that you are in danger through earthly adversity. All these warnings are only love for you, and His will is that you completely surrender to Him, that you call upon Him for help and He can send it to you through His messengers.... that you only desire Him.... then you will already be helped, and you will resist evil and submit yourselves to divine will, and the latter will guide and direct you if it finds no resistance. As easy earthly days are granted to man, he is also in danger of not paying attention to his task, and God regocnizes this danger and wants to counter it effectively, and so divine love is also then endeavoured for you when it seems to you that it has left you. For God wants to increase the desire in you, He wants you to send your thoughts to Him, that you call upon Him in heartfelt prayer for His help.... and your prayer will be answered....

Amen
