Take Me as your truest Father into your heart

28th December 1845, Greifenburg

To Elise H.

[1] I know about your day and that of your birth, but you also know that I am an enemy of congratulations. That is why I also send you this little word as late as possible after your day and tell you also further nothing in it than that I fully love you! With which little word you, My dear daughter, can also be completely satisfied.

[2] For a short time you will indeed receive a small cross, which will indeed not be studded with earthly diamonds, but it will be all the richer in those of My Fatherly love and grace! Take Me completely into your heart as your truest Father, then you will hardly notice the burden of the small cross.

[3] Abstain from the world, which has nothing but death and destruction for sale, and hold fast to My heart – and do not doubt that it is I who tell you this, so you will be blessed in Me, your Lord and Father, temporally and eternally!

[4] Put all your worries and unnecessary, sometimes oppressive thoughts on My shoulders, then everything will go well, and we will always reach the right goal!

[5] But whatever smiles at you in the world, let that flee from the heart; for where you now step in the world, I tell you, there all is mask, behind which is all sorts of bad vermin! – I tell you: The world was not worse even in Noah's time, as it is now in very many plays!

[6] In all love for Me, take this so quite lively to your heart and bear everything patiently and calmly gently, so you will grow like a cedar in My grace!

[7] But do not complain about the world either, but sacrifice everything to Me! At the right time I will do and shape everything as it will be most right. Behold, the world has it’s course, the heaven it’s own, and no day is like another. All this is thus in order; because also in all the world, the prophecy must be fulfilled, as it was fulfilled in Me!

[8] But therefore also everyone who loves Me may be in fullest rest in his heart; for he can literally grasp it with his hands that My eternal order predominates everywhere. Life is a continuing struggle; therefore do not let the world struggle become a horror to you; because if you are in My love, you will have little to do with this fight! I alone am for all who are Mine the omnipotent fighter in eternity.

[9] But with this I also give you My living blessing and My grace, Amen.
