5592 "I am the light of the world...." light is truth....

February 1, 1953: Book 61

I am the light of the world, and only where I am can the light shine, but where I am not there is darkness.... Anyone who allows these words to deeply penetrate his heart will also soon be touched by a ray of light, for he will realize that he has to take the path to Me in order to reach the light. But light is truth, and truth emanates from Me. And thus no-one can walk in truth who is distant from God, who has not accepted Me Myself so that I will kindle a light in him. But to receive Me means to make love your own, for anyone who lives in love lives in Me and I in him.... I, therefore, am love, truth, light and life.... Without Me you live apart, in darkness. Wherever else you seek the light.... you will not find it if you do not ignite it within yourselves through love, if you do not draw Me, Who am love Myself, to you through loving activity. There can be disorder in your thoughts, but then there is also disorder in your heart, then love is not in you, which orders everything according to eternal law, which also guides your thinking correctly and does not let any ambiguity, no questions and no doubts arise in you. Thus light is only in you when I Myself have found acceptance in your heart, because I Myself am the light from eternity. But you are free to choose the light or the darkness.... If you believe in Me, through Whom the light has come into the world, if you believe in Jesus Christ and His act of salvation, then you will also try to win Me, you will let yourselves be called out of darkness by Me, you will listen to My voice, you will recognize My commandments of love as My will, and you will enter into My will for the sake of light, you will long for Me, for My love, for the life I have promised you, you will recognize that there is no life without Me and thus voluntarily step into the glow of light which I Myself emanate, you will look for the light and also find it.... You will move in truth as well as you move in love.... There is no other way to reach the truth than through love.... And this will also explain to you the error spread throughout the whole world, which infallibly has to be where there is no love.... But love has grown cold among people.... Where is the truth to be found which cannot be where I am not Myself, which is not apart from Me and which has been suppressed by human unkindness itself. Where there is no love there is darkness, no matter how highly developed people's intellect may be.... I am the light of the world, but I am also the eternal love.... but where the light is extinguished, where love cannot be found, there is also darkness of spirit, there is error, ignorance, delusion and spiritual arrogance, for there the prince of darkness reigns who wants to displace the truth and thereby also the one Who is the eternal truth, Who is the light from eternity....

Amen
