7236 God as ruler.... hidden revelations....

December 23, 1958: Book 76

You should only ever sing praise and thanks to the lord of heaven and earth that He guides you on the right path through earthly life towards your eternal home. For He does not leave His creatures alone, He offers His guidance to everyone; He only holds back when He is rejected, but without abandoning the creature itself, without leaving it to itself and its fate. The father's love for His children is too great for Him to abandon it to itself, because then it would inevitably be lost forever. It can certainly prolong the duration of its separation from the father endlessly itself but it will not remain separated from Him forever, because His love constantly draws it and one day the creature will also surrender to His love. But as long as you stay on earth you should open yourselves to His illumination of love, you should not hesitate for a minute to place yourselves within the range of His sun of love, for the latter signifies bliss and peace already on this earth and one day in eternity. And He has determined everyone's fate so that you humans will already attain beatitude on earth, and always in such a way that you humans will constantly be able to feel His love if only you pay attention to how you are guided, how seemingly inextricable things dissolve, how you are led out of adversity and also always find grace before Him, your God and creator of eternity.... (23.12.1958) He often approaches you so clearly that you must feel His presence; and you are also repeatedly addressed by Him in various ways.... you can perceive Him if only you don't openly defend yourselves against the awareness of being subject to a leading power.... if you don't consciously deny Him and prefer to regard your whole earthly life as coincidence or natural, rather than determined by a controller and creator. And God will not take action against conscious resistance either by not providing any evidence, instead His spirit will always be darkened until it finally perishes in darkness. But as long as there is no open resistance, the human being will be pursued by God's love, even if strokes of fate seemingly do not reveal 'God's love'. But God only ever opposes the doubters or those of weak faith in a hidden way, but He can be recognized, for He reveals Himself more than once in order to win His children. And as soon as people seriously reflect and look back on their own fate God's guidance will become obvious to them and also make them inclined to hand themselves over to their God and creator, to trustingly place their further earthly life into His hands and to praise Him again and again for the love which shines out to them from His guidance. The father does not leave His children to their fate.... He Himself is the fate, He Himself always guides and considers the human being such that he can only draw blessings from his earthly life, only he must not rebel when he is touched more harshly because this is necessary for his soul.... He must surrender to God's will, i.e. patiently accept everything God imposes on him.... He must know that his earthly course is predetermined and that everything is included in the plan of salvation which aims at and shall promote his perfection. And as soon as the human being has this inner conviction that his destiny is only based on God's will and shall always help him to salvation, his life will not be an idle one either, it will always bring him further in his development, and one day the human being will look back on his earthly progress full of love and gratitude, which brought him success because he submitted himself to the will of his God and creator.... because he recognized His loving guidance in all situations of life and surrendered to Him and His will....

Amen
