5098 God's leadership....

April 1, 1951: Book 57

I Myself want to guide you and you can entrust yourselves to My guidance without worry. Where you lack light on the path through the earth valley I will walk before you as a shining flame, and all darkness around you will fade away, clearly and distinctly the path lies before you which leads upwards, and in My company you cannot go astray. And all those who love Me will willingly follow Me; they will not turn an eye away from Me when I precede them, they will no longer look back to the world which lies behind them, they know no other desire than to return with Me to the father's house which they once left voluntarily and which now keeps its gates wide open to receive them again for eternity. Yet only those who love Me follow Me.... Without love in their heart they don't recognize Me, without love they cannot see the light emanating from Me either, without love they don't strive upwards but look for a broad path which is more appealing, which always presents them with new images beguiling their heart and senses.... without love they chase after deceptive lights and don't see that the path always leads deeper into the abyss; and they lack the right guide, for this they don't follow. It is love which lets you accept My guidance but which then also protects you from every wrong path, which safely leads you to the aim and which you should therefore practice on your neighbour until it flares up into a bright flame in your heart, until you have become love yourselves and have acquired the right to be guided by Me. Anyone who stands helplessly at a crossroads need only direct his gaze to where a gentle light shines towards him, he need only call in his heart for the guide and I will lovingly take him by the hand and gently urge him towards the right path. My light will fall into his heart, it will become bright in him, he will understand what was unclear to him, his spirit will bring him enlightenment and without hesitation he will do and leave as it is evident to him as good and right.... for the light from Me shines in him and shows him the right path.

To all of you who love each other and carry Me in your heart I will be your guide through earthly life, and you need not fear ever getting lost once you have given Me the right to guide you on your path through life. You are My little flock which I lead as the good shepherd.... And I will not let any sheep from My flock fall into the hands of the enemy, I will protect you from his influence, I will watch over you vigilantly and not let anything hostile approach you, I will be your protector on every path you take and carefully guide you over thorns and cliffs, and even if the path seems impassable at times, with My help you will overcome all bumps and difficulties, with My help you will reach your aim safely and unharmed.... I Myself will lead you into the father's house, which you will now never leave, because I am with you, Whom you love and Who returns your love for all eternity....

Amen
