6568 Jesus Christ strength giver and guide....

June 10, 1956: Book 70

Every spiritual progress wants to be achieved.... And it has to be emphasised time and again that the path which leads to the goal must lead upwards, thus always requires a certain amount of strength. Since you humans possess little strength yourselves you must therefore request it from Me or acquire it through loving activity.... The path upwards could never be travelled without supply of strength, for it is not even, it is exhausting for every person unless he possesses a measure of strength of love that he feels no strain at all. Then love itself carries him to the height.... Therefore, anyone who is still powerless and yet wants to travel the path upwards has to make use of help, a guide who leads him, supports him and provides him with strength.... And this helper and guide is Jesus Christ, to Whom you humans should entrust yourselves on your earthly path so that it will lead to the goal. Jesus Christ will first guide you to the fountain of life where you can draw strength for your earthly path.... For Jesus Christ brought you My word, the divine teaching of love, and you will always have to take note of this teaching of love first and then act in accordance with the teaching.... Then you will receive strength and can confidently start your ascent at your leader's side, for you will now be able to overcome even the most difficult obstacles by virtue of the love you shape your being into if you live according to My teaching of love.... You are powerless at the beginning of your life but you need not remain powerless.... For you can easily acquire a measure of strength of love if you make use of Jesus Christ's help, Who for this reason died on the cross because He took pity on your weakness and therefore acquired a measure of grace through His death from which you can now draw unlimited grace and strength. The ascent to the height requires strength, and only One can impart this strength to you: Jesus Christ, for all strength emanates from Me.... and I and Jesus Christ are one.... Hence you must make use of My strength with full awareness by asking Me for it.... by believing in Me and then also fulfilling My will in this faith, i.e. by making the divine commandments of love the guiding principle of your way of life.... Then you will acquire strength, and I Myself will never leave you without strength either, because you have approached Me for it in complete trust.... And then you will take the path of ascent, and now you can use your strength to overcome all opposition, to remove obstacles from your path, and you will not slacken or sink down without strength, for He Who provides you with strength also constantly walks beside you now, because you acknowledge Him, because you believe in Me in Jesus Christ, because you chose Him as your leader, because you let Me be present to you as soon as you live a life of love, as soon as you live the divine teaching of love. You must know this because otherwise you cannot understand why your earthly life is often difficult and oppressive and why you must take refuge in the One Who alone can lighten your burden, Who teaches you how to travel the path effortlessly.... You must know that only love is the source of strength, that without love you will not reach your goal, for you start your earthly life in the abyss and should leave it in the height if your earthly path is not to have been in vain. But you can reach your goal if you call for the right guide, if you join Jesus Christ, Who Himself walked the path and Who calls upon you to follow Him if you want to be saved....

Amen
