3913 Nothing is senseless and useless.... activity.... miniature creations....
October 24, 1946: Book 49
Nothing is without meaning and purpose, not even the smallest work of creation which came forth from My hands. It is just that the meaning and purpose is not always obvious to people and that is why they doubt the purposefulness of certain creations. If the spiritual eye were accessible to you, you would see tremendous activity wherever the eye wanders, you would see nothing that remains inactive, for even seemingly dead matter, the most solid rock, is enlivened by countless beings which work diligently and bring about a slow change in that which appears lifeless to your eyes. Yet this is only visible to the spiritual eye because everything is spiritual activity and the earthly activity, which you can observe with your physical eyes, only begins when a certain degree of spiritual maturity has been reached. Nevertheless, matter, which in itself seems inactive, also serves insofar as it favours the development of that which is banished in it and that it again offers innumerable living beings of smallest dimensions a possibility of life which your eyes are also unable to see. The upward development of the spiritual necessitates innumerable phases of which you have too little knowledge, even if the purpose and meaning of the works of creation is comprehensible to you. Before the spiritual has reached the degree that its envelope reveals life, so that it can take up residence in the living being visible to the human eye, it has had to go through innumerable other deformations in the miniature creations of which you certainly have knowledge but which you cannot see with the naked eye. But you nevertheless cannot regard these smallest and most minute creations as meaningless and purposeless, even if their purpose is hidden from you, for My love does not let anything come into being which does not have a purpose for time or eternity. And thus you can also deduce from this that My will remains continuously active in order to create new things, because every work of My hands serves the final redemption of that which was banished for the purpose of its ascent development. For this would never take place in free will, thus the spiritual being is subject to the law of compulsion for a certain period of time.... i.e., in accordance with My will it has to carry out a serving activity which corresponds to its external form.... But it always has to declare its willingness to do so beforehand, otherwise it will not be admitted to these serving activities either, so that it therefore has to give up its resistance for the time being before I give it the opportunity of an ascent development. And furthermore, you will understand that matter is to be respected as a means for the redemption of the spiritual substance insofar as that it is not wantonly destroyed or kept away from its serving task, be it still seemingly dead to you or also a carrier of living beings of all kinds.... What you are entitled to, what you are allowed to destroy without having to answer for it, you will recognize emotionally, and what you destroy in order to give it another form which shall fulfil its serving purpose again will find My approval and be blessed.... But don't regard anything as futile and pointless, for My wisdom and love has been at work in every, even the smallest, work of creation and My will has been active.... Human creations can indeed lack wisdom and love, divine creations never do, and if you regard all matter, every living being, as a divine creation, you will respect it and help it to salvation....
Amen
