2482 Effects of a God-pleasing lifestyle....

September 24, 1942: Book 33

The effect of a God-pleasing way of life can already be recognized on earth by the person's inner contentment and spiritual maturity, which is expressed in profound spiritual knowledge. This knowledge is the privilege of the one who is righteous and lives in love, for his way of life corresponds to God's will and therefore God will also bless his life. He will bestow His grace upon him in abundance, He will make him knowledgeable and give him the peace of mind which He has promised to people. As soon as a person fulfils God's will or strives to fulfil it, he will be blessed by God and his state can always be called free and full of light, for then he will no longer need any means of education which oppress him and his heart will have become quiet in God. But then he will also accept every event from the hand of God with submission. He knows that everything is only authorized by God out of his immense love for humanity, and he neither complains nor grumbles. And this pious devotion earns him God's full love again and He gives the human being what he needs for his higher development, for He recognizes his will to always do what is right.... And God only demands this will from the human being, for then He recognizes his attitude and his love for Him, and in accordance with this love God considers His living creations, for nothing remains hidden from Him....

Amen
