2485 Love - God's wisdom and omnipotence is the reason for everything extraordinary....
September 27, 1942: Book 33
Living faith makes nothing seem impossible, since everything can be founded in the love, wisdom and omnipotence of God. God's love grasps everything, wisdom recognizes everything and omnipotence brings everything about.... and so there is nothing that is impossible for God to accomplish. And the knowledge of this is brought about by living faith, for anyone who can affirm the eternal deity deep in his heart has no other concept of this deity than that It is a loving, wise and omnipotent being, and thus he will also be able to believe that nothing is impossible for this being. And if this being now seizes a human child in His love then it also corresponds to His divine wisdom that He now works through this human being because He deems it necessary. And His working will always be something extraordinary which is not possible for the human being as such.... His working will be an expression of strength which reveals a powerful being.... However, where love, wisdom and omnipotence can be recognized, the eternal deity must also be recognized, but it can never be concluded that the working of evil beings is possible who neither know love nor can distribute wisdom nor have the power to work supernaturally. For the latter requires strength. But if evil beings had this power at their disposal without being able to be prevented by God, then truly no human being would stand in the truth anymore because it would be completely prevented by those beings. But God is omnipotent and His power is truly able to protect those people who faithfully entrust themselves to Him. If He did not do so, then either His power would be small or His love.... But if a person believes that God is love and that He possesses all power in heaven and on earth, then He can never grant His adversary the same power by leaving people defencelessly at the mercy of this power. God knows His own and He loves them because they adhere to Him, because they strive for Him.... And He works through them.... The power of the adversary, however, only extends to those people who deny God, who live a life of unkindness and are therefore extremely distant from God. And by this you humans will recognize whose power manifests itself when a person accomplishes extraordinary things.... whether his soul is turned towards God and he endeavours to live in accordance with divine commandments and whether he wants to help his fellow human beings.... These are His children, whom He loves and through whom His wisdom and omnipotence are revealed. And these stand in the truth because, where God Himself is at work, only the pure truth can be the result. And those who have a living faith will also recognize the truth as truth because it testifies to God's love, wisdom and omnipotence....
Amen
