8209 The value of a "living" faith....

July 8, 1962: Book 86

You will also be told time and again that you can only gain a living faith through love.... For love unites you with Me, Who is love Myself, and then your faith in Me must also be alive because you feel My presence, thus it is conviction for you what you should 'believe'.... for believing means believing something to be true for which you lack the evidence.... But then you will no longer need evidence, for the feeling of My presence is the strongest evidence of Myself, and then you will also know that I work with you or that you can work with Me, that everything is possible for you because it is I Myself Who now carries out what you ask for or what you want to do yourselves in strong faith in Me and My strength.... I Myself am love, and you must unite yourselves intimately with this love, which you will always do when you carry out works of love, when you only ever seek to show unselfish love to your neighbour, when you help where help is needed, when you assist your neighbour earthly and spiritually.... when you take care of his earthly and spiritual needs and thus serve him with love.... The blessing of such works of love flows back to you a thousand fold, and the feeling of a living faith is the most delicious thing you can gain through it, for then you will go through earthly life completely carefree, you will have intercourse with Me again as with your father at every hour, and there are no doubts or unsolvable problems for you, for in this living faith you leave everything to Me, your father of eternity, Who is constantly present in you and you can never feel abandoned because you know yourselves to be safe in Me.... And you will understand how extremely important it is that you practise love.... that you perform deeds of love which give you strength for your way of life, that it constantly takes place in love and thereby you establish an ever closer bond with Me, your God and father of eternity.... Who created you out of His love. Anyone who has gained a living faith will now also safely walk the path of ascent, for since he knows that I Myself am present to him he will only walk in My company, Who will truly also lead him to the goal.... He can now also say with conviction: "I not only believe but I know that God is close to me...." For living faith will no longer allow any doubt, living faith will also no longer allow any weakness, for it is strength itself, because it cannot be thought of without love and love is the strength which now flows through him and enables him to do everything he wants out of his love.... And therefore he will also be able to accomplish every work of love if it benefits his fellow human being; he will also be able to heal the sick, for the love within him and firm faith give him the strength to do so, because the knowledge is now also within him when and whether an unusual activity on his neighbour is also a blessing.... Just try to gain living faith, which therefore requires loving activity, and you will truly do justice to your earthly task. You will mature in your soul, you will have Me Myself as your constant companion, for you unite with Me through love, and everything you do now you accomplish with Me.... And your earthly life will truly bring you perfection, for you should only shape yourselves into love, then you will also accomplish your soul's transformation, you will return to your original state again, and then you will be blissfully happy again and remain eternally....

Amen
