"None of you have as yet understood why I uncover and
explain to you all the depths of My creation, all the innermost aspects
of My divine self. Behold, My dear ones, the reason for all this is, to
instill into you the very thing lacking in all of you, meaning, the
trust in Me. For when together with Me you traverse the immeasurable
spaces of My infinity, when I open up to you My spiritual heavens,
giving you an inkling of what is there being kept and prepared for you;
when I reveal to you My own self, which is nothing but love and in
return wants only love; when I prove to you down to the smallest atoms
that I, the Creator and Father, sustain everything with the same love, I
only want to prove to you that a Being possessed of this might and
strength, as which I am showing Myself to you, should surely be worthy
of trust and that, compared to My omniscience and omnipotence, all your
activity and behavior must be considered as below the level of Zero.
Ponder these few words; they are very important, like everything
flowing from My mouth. Enter deeply into the meaning of that which all
of you were given, and you will not only find consolation and peace but,
and this is the main thing, you will more and more realize your own
standpoint and then, consolidating what is unstable, be able to draw
closer to Me.
Not a word I send you through My servant was, and still is, without
its own purpose. Also these three words I was just now bringing before
the eyes of My scribe because right now it is beginning to be somewhat
unstable in your company. There is no true spiritual life present. Many
of you are again living only for their businesses and pet interest,
almost wholly forgetting Me and My teaching and only remembering it when
by chance one or the other has made a speech to that effect.
Be watchful and pray, lest you fall into temptation.
Do not make fun of My grace! I do not, as some believe, bestow it on
those who only concern themselves with Me and My teaching when they have
nothing else to do. They should take care, for they may be struck by
lightning out of a blue sky and be forced to realize that they had
considered as a matter of secondary importance that which really should
be their main concern.
Whosoever knows nothing of My teaching and sins against it, is not so
culpable. However, if someone has read My teaching and, half
believing, shows no true trust in its activation and no confidence in
the attainment of the actual purpose, I shall be forced to wake him up
through a direct jolt lest he drop off to the sleep of worldly things,
thereby forgetting My spiritual school. Today I still admonish; who,
apart from Me, knows what I shall do tomorrow? The piece of ground on
which you live and peacefully walk about enjoying your life, is hollow
under your feet. This thin shell covers terrible chasms and you with
firm faith and trust look up to Me with great confidence and hope that I
shall not let this thin shell give way, thereby letting all of you
taste death unawares. Calmly you lie down above these chasms with the
firm trust and confidence of again rising the next day hale and
strengthened while perhaps under your feet to you incomprehensible
baffles of the elements are taking place. Why do you have such trust in
this case and not in spiritual matters? You see, because you believe I
shall not do it! And why shall I not do it? Because you put your trust
in a loving Father, who will not without reason punish His children
with destruction. What, then, is your confidence? It is that, what you
hope for, namely, the constant granting of My grace to you, may not
waver.
Now, since in this respect you put such firm faith, trust and
confidence in Me, do allow also Me to demand of you, if not at this rate
of divine forbearance, then with human indulgence, to have also in
spiritual matters a firmer faith, greater trust and greater confidence;
and to understand that all I have already bestowed on you happened only
for your benefit and by no means for My entertainment, but only in
order to confer on you the honor of being able to become My children.
You demand of Me unlimited grace, and I demand of you
unlimited love. With the exchange of these two conditions it is only you
who gain, since I want to accord you a might that shall make you lords
of all that was created!
Since I promise you such great graces, I am also allowed to wake up
those on the road to Me, should they fall asleep while walking, through
gentle nudges as I am now doing to you. Then you will realize that one
must not walk My paths with one’s eyes closed, but with open eyes and
ears so as not to miss the right way and go astray.
So again, let all of you consider what I am giving you here. Be
watchful and pray, lest you fall into temptation! Let this be your
device towards a steady growth in firm faith, trust and confidence!
Amen." (Secrets of life, chap. 12)
