7968 Purpose of need: Bonding with God....

August 15, 1961: Book 83

You will be guided through all hardship and visibly experience My love and care. Yet hardship is indispensable and you are approaching a time which will be difficult for everyone who does not devote himself to Me with complete faith, who does not entrust himself to Me and appeal for My help. Yet My own will not feel this time of adversity so much because I take care of them.... And again and again I announce the adversity to you, for it is therefore inevitable because I want to offer you another opportunity where you can turn to Me and call upon Me, for this bond with Me is your salvation; both earthly as well as spiritually it will only be a blessing for you if you remember your God and creator and try to approach Him. As long as you walk alone, without Me, on this earth, every day is useless for your salvation of soul, for your spiritual development.... You will not take a single step forward, and your earthly life may have been an idle run for you if you don't enter into a bond with Me before your death and then your soul will be saved from darkness when you lose your physical life and enter the kingdom of the beyond. And there are only a few who find their way to Me even in a time of good living conditions.... Only a great adversity can bring it about that people remember Me and call to Me.... And this adversity comes for the sake of it, after all, it is far more bearable than the great spiritual adversity which awaits those who do not find their way to Me. But My own can confidently look forward to the coming time, for the bond with Me will lift them above all difficulties, and every thought they turn to Me will give them strength, and they will also work for Me by trying to point their fellow human beings to the saviour and helper from every adversity.... Who lets suffering come upon you humans, Who can truly also turn it away from you.... But you must confess Him.... you must always know that every turn towards Me is a turning away from My adversary.... And this is the only thing I want to achieve, and thus if adversity drives you towards Me then it was truly a blessing for you, for then you will also be released from the enemy of your souls who will bring far greater adversity upon you if you don't detach yourselves from him. And detachment from him can only be possible by turning to Me, because your will alone is decisive as to who may now take possession of you. But I can help you out of every adversity and visibly grant you My help.... Therefore nevertheless believe in a God of love, even if this God allows suffering and adversity.... For I am only ever concerned about your salvation, about the life of the soul which lasts forever and does not end with the death of the body. And so that the soul does not need to suffer in eternity it must sometimes bear increased suffering on earth but it will always be a blessing for it if it contributes towards entering into a bond with Me, its God and creator of eternity. I want to win you as long as you still live on earth, and I also have to use means which seem cruel and unkind to you but which only ever aim for your salvation, your bliss in the spiritual kingdom.... Just always trustingly pray to Me and truly, you will be guided through all adversities of body and soul, you will feel that your father cares for you, that He will give you what you need earthly and spiritually and that you will also recognize His presence in every event.... For I will always be with My own, with those who turn their thoughts towards Me, who remain united with Me in love and prayer....

Amen
