Gifts of Heaven · Volume 1 · Chapter 39

To each his own

2nd August 1840

[1] There are some of you who, in My revelations through the things of nature, allow themselves to be captured by some scruples and consequent sadness, because of their folly – since they do not see and hear as much as My servant.

[2] I ask this for your great consolation: Why Have you never been sad when you have seen that no grapes grow on the willow trees?? And yet the willow tree is no less a work of My almighty holiness than the sweet and spiritual Vine! – Why then did the apostles not weep and mourn, since I did not reveal myself to everyone like John?

[3] Therefore, be cheerful and joyful and full of pleasure in your hearts. For I, Your Father, see what everyone needs for the time being, and give to everyone as much as he can easily bear.

[4] Behold, My servant is small and simple and has a gentle heart and has been following humility and My love for several years. If I have now given him a small light of My grace, he believes it to be true in all points and branches, since all of this comes first of all directly from Me into him, and that is because he wanted it to be so, which is also what is dearest to Me!

[5] For whatever anyone asks in My name will be given to him without falsehood or deceit – certainly not overnight, but only gradually, according to his power and strength.

[6] Therefore love Me and believe without doubt what I am announcing to you through My simple servant! If a stone has already made you hesitate, what will you say, when I will reveal a whole sun before you physically and spiritually! And what in the case of an angel?

[7] So be cheerful and joyful and full of pleasure in your hearts. For I, your Father, see what everyone needs for now. Amen.
