Your measure in My kingdom
21st April 1846, Greifenburg
To Anselm H. on his name day
[1] You whom I created in the mother's womb to a good vessel of clay, water and spirit, whom I took from the breath of My heart, behold, I am your God and your divine Father! What did you give Me before for this, that I have formed you? I did it freely and never had an advisor, nor a helper – so I created everything, like you, without advice, help and payment.
[2] But since My love and wisdom already did such great things to man, why then do the created ones value themselves among themselves? He who says, this one is better and that one more excellent, he preempts Me; for the judgment on a work hits the workmaster and not the work.
[3] But how do the people – such a father, such a mother? Don't they say: Behold, my son, you are of better birth! The common lass is not good for you as a wife; take a peer for yourself! And you, my daughter, what have you to do with this man of low and poor status? Behold, there are the noble and the rich, for whom your hand and your heart were created. What do you think this classification concerns Me, the Workmaster, or the human being, who are all equally My Work? I think that the judgment is Mine!
[4] The consequence of this will be a great examination beyond the grave; because I as the eternally infinitely most perfect One cannot take it upon Myself that My works thus reproach Me as imperfect through such judgments.
[5] Therefore I tell you: If you want to see heaven's most perfect on earth, then look to the least – for the highest on earth will be the lowest and most miserable over there.
[6] If you want to have a standard that can show you your measure in My kingdom, then seek who is equal to you – from what house shall your son take the daughter once, and of what importance shall the man be for your daughter? But ask yourself strictly in your heart and you will find it exactly, how much is still left in you before the innermost part of My kingdom. For there it is not much to say – look, all people are equal to Me, and the lowest is nearest to My heart, but this must be living truth in spirit, ensouled with the firmest will; then also My kingdom is alive in man.
[7] But where still as always designed degrees about the value of people (understand it well, people and not robbers, fornicators, adulterers, thieves, misers, manslayers, and the like, who are not people, but devils) appear in the heart, where nature still resists it, there My kingdom is still as many degrees away, by the degrees somebody considers himself better and more exquisite out of whatever considerations.
[8] Until someone will not have reached the very lowest level in all outer interests of his heart, he will not be able to enter My kingdom; for I have chosen the most humble for Myself!
[9] Behold, this is a good teaching and gift – it is the most infallible, straightest and therefore shortest way to Me, which as a gift is probably best suited for your day. Receive it alive in your heart, so it will also bring you the living fruit of My word in you. And will you have My word, then you also have My kingdom eternally, Amen. This says, He who formed you in the womb of clay, water and spirit. Amen, Amen, Amen.
