7220 Comforting father words....

December 3, 1958: Book 76

Do not become timid in your hearts but always trust in Me, your God and father, Who loves you and does not want you to suffer. But if suffering nevertheless oppresses you, then you know that you need only turn to Me, Who will also take the suffering away from you if only you unite with Me. For I want to have fellowship with My children, I want to draw them to Me, and if My calls of love are not enough then I will try to achieve it through suffering. But once you have achieved the inner strength to know that I am always close to you and to be completely filled by your firm faith, then you will truly no longer be oppressed by suffering. But the fact that you fail so often, that you become weak in your faith, are the fears of your soul which still feels lonely, which is still weak in its trust in Me, which does not yet hold Me so tightly that it loses all fear.... But it has to find and take the path to Me itself, I can only ever entice it but not force it. You once left Me voluntarily, therefore you must also return voluntarily again.... You once strove for separation, now you also have to seek unification with Me, and I cannot do anything but use such means, means which make you anxious, so that you will then come to Me in inner adversity and My fatherly arms will always lovingly receive you, because then I will have reached My aim. And then every fear and worry will depart from you. But you should also always know that every worry is unnecessary, that it need not burden you if only you remember that I am your father from Whom you originated, from Whose love you came forth. For you should always place your trust in the father, you should always expect the father to protect you, to take care of you and to always have your well-being in mind, and you should unreservedly hand yourselves over to Him in peace and confidence that He will direct everything for the best. Then you could always go through earthly life cheerfully, free from every distress and free from weakness or fear, for your father is powerful and wise, He is love, He can and wants to protect you and give you the security of a child, but you must also feel like His children, you must come to Him in complete trust and submit all your needs to Him in firm faith that the father will help His child.... And truly, your faith will not be put to shame, for My love grants a child everything it asks for....

Amen
