5908 Right child relationship.... become like children....

March 19, 1954: Book 64

Unless you become like children you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.... With these words I already tried to make you understand on earth that you must enter into the right relationship with Me, your father of eternity, if you want to take possession of My kingdom.... that you must entrust yourselves to the father like children and surrender yourselves to Him, so that this intimate relationship will guarantee My influx of grace which will help you to ascend. I only ever endeavour to clarify your shortcoming that you are weak and unable to develop yourselves upwards if you don't make use of My strength.... I only ever want to explain to you that the receipt of strength from Me is only possible when the connection between you and Me is established. And I only ever give you instructions as to how you establish this connection with Me.... It is only ever love and childlike devotion to Me, the trusting relationship which a child has with its father, which causes Me to fill you with strength and grace. And therefore you must become like children.... unhesitatingly hand yourselves over to Me; you must hand yourselves over to My care, you must believe with complete conviction that the father will lead you by the hand and that you cannot go astray as long as you fully entrust yourselves to Him. This childlike faith cannot be destroyed.... I take hold of you and draw you to My heart, I now take responsibility for you because you no longer resist Me, because you no longer assert your own will but completely subordinate it to Mine.... because you have now become My children in truth who have found their way back into their father's house, because you now belong to My own for whom the kingdom of heaven is open, who are allowed to take possession of it and who never ever strive away from Me, because they are now indissolubly united with Me through their childlike love. As long as the human being believes himself to be powerful he is weak and incapable of acquiring My kingdom.... But if he bends before Me in humility and love and in a feeling of weakness, if he lifts his hands imploringly to Me, if he calls to the father for help like a child, then the father's hand will also take hold of him, and then his faith and his love will be his strength which is able to overcome everything and achieve everything. Become like children.... Confess that you need help and it will be given to you.... My grace takes hold of every child who calls to Me and lifts it up.... For I want to be recognized and loved by you as father, so that My strength of love can flow through you, which will make you eternally blessed....

Amen
