6058 God's intervention in threatening danger to the soul.... love....

September 19, 1954: Book 65

However your earthly life may turn out.... it is My will, and you must submit to this will, for I alone know what is best for you. I know all dangers which threaten your soul, I know My adversary's temptations, I also know to what extent you are able to resist, and thus I also know the countermeasures I have to use in order not to endanger you. For I will never idly leave you to My adversary and his arbitrariness. He will want to test himself on you with increased strength and you will not see through his game at first. And that is why I often intervene before you fall. And My intervention appears cruel to you and yet is only determined by My love. Yet My love also supports you and therefore you need not despair. You may only never break your bond with Me, you may never want to go your way without Me, you must remember Me in adversity and suffering and know that I am always concerned for you as your father.... You must know that nothing can happen in life without My permission, that therefore everything that happens always has My approval because it is good for you.... because it is good for your souls. My care constantly applies to you, and your soul constantly has to struggle for perfection, yet it sometimes slackens and pays more attention to the body than to the voice of the spirit, which prescribes to it the path that leads upwards. And then admonishing calls must sound so that it remembers its actual task again, so that it does not neglect to strive for perfection. The way I send these admonishing calls to it is determined by My love and wisdom, and it can also sometimes painfully touch the human being. But always think when you have to suffer that I want to achieve something with it.... Then look within yourselves and investigate to what extent you have caused it yourselves.... Investigate yourselves as to whether you have put your soul's work on hold and turned your thoughts more towards the world, and be grateful for every admonition, for it is only intended to help your soul mature, it is intended to lead you back to Me when you are in danger of turning towards the one who wants your ruin....

Amen
