4827 Strong faith result of love....
January 31, 1950: Book 55
You draw the strength to believe from your love for Me, or love brings faith to life. Everything will appear to you close to its essence, thus no longer unreal, as soon as love fills you, yet you can only understand this if you have love within yourselves, otherwise they are only words which have no life in them. Again and again I can only point out to you that strength emerges from love, that you are able to do everything if you live in love and thus can also believe deeply, that you then call a living faith your own. I can only answer every prayer to Me for strength of faith with the words: Love Me, then you will also be able to believe.... and love for Me includes love for your neighbour. Therefore you only have to be good and helpful towards your neighbour and your faith will grow into that strength which is unshakeable and withstands every onslaught. But if you have a deep, unshakeable faith then you will also feel Me near you, then I will always be present to you and you will be aware of it. As soon as you are able to speak to Me like a child speaks to its father, your faith will also be strong and alive, for you will only speak to the one Whom you acknowledge, and you prove your faith in Me through prayer in spirit and in truth, and if you then practice the intimate dialogue with Me for a long time, you will no longer be able to doubt either My word or My love, nor anything else which seems unacceptable to you. Then you will believe everything because you feel that your father only speaks the truth and that He loves His children. And because you believe in Me you will also do everything I ask of you, you will live as it is pleasing to Me.... Love will fill your whole being.... Then the union with Me will take place, then spiritual life will have become a reality for you, whereas earthly life will pass you by like a dream state, then you will be so firmly united with Me that a separation from Me will no longer be possible, then you will no longer be able to speak of faith but everything will be knowledge, realization, light for you. Every doubt, every unbelief is eliminated, you are completely permeated by Me and have returned to the original state which signifies light and strength and bliss for all eternity....
Amen
