The best advice and true comfort

5th May 1841

[1] All humans are not created for this world, but for the great Father's house beyond – and that either one way or another! As their life in the world, so is their state in that eternal, great house!

[2] Whom I test – and truly, I do not do this in vain! – I want to and will make into something; because he is already in My school. But a student has to put up with the test if he wants to become something.

[3] With Me nobody is rejected in the test, but everyone can pass, either already here or safely in the hereafter.

[4] But he who flees My gentle trials and makes an evil escape, will be tested by the world and by Satan to see whether he is capable of wickedness.

[5] I accept everyone into My school at every hour. But whoever does not want to become more than a swineherd, a donkey driver or an ox feeder and finds his bliss in mischief, truly, he will never be disturbed – neither in his office nor in his pleasure!

[6] But you – hear and understand – are in My "university"! I want to make exceedingly many things out of you! Therefore, some examinations at this university must not alienate you.

[7] I have taken the lepers to Me and have brought them to life by relieving them of the unclean burden of the stinking body. Do you want to raise them to death again !?

[8] Why do you mourn when I took your sister to Myself? Has something bad happened to her? Oh you of little faith! Do you think that the loss of your sister weighs on your heart? Oh no, I say, your weak faith is still your greatest need!

[9] For he who believes and loves in spirit and in truth will always be full of joy and gratitude in his heart, seeing in the brightest light that I, his eternal, holy, most loving Father, certainly do only the best at all times.

[10] Oh children, recognize, recognize for once that I am your most loving Father, who in every trial increases and multiplies your life by a thousand times!

[11] Thank Me with a joyful heart that I have given your sister eternal life immediately in the kingdom of children and that from there she paves a bright path into the great sanctuary of My eternal Fatherly love!

[12] Verily it is so! Who can still mourn when he loves Me and holds on to My Name !?

[13] So now be joyful and full of good cheer. Because your sister is already overjoyed in My lap! But here in the earth, she and her husband would have been lost for ever in five months! How and why – you will not miss it in time!

[14] But now all is well and will remain well forever! Therefore rejoice and praise My name always!

[15] This say I say, your true Father and Brother. Amen!
