Heavenly interest payment

4th November 1842

[1] Give this to My dear K.G.L., because it is dutiful that the interest parties pay the landlord their room rent at the right time. And so I also want to do the same.

[2] Therefore write as follows:

[3] Listen, my dear K.G.L.! You know that I once said to you: I want to have My quarters with you a little "with bag and baggage"! See, I also kept My word, which you surely perceived through so many apparitions that distress you outwardly which, however, were of unpredictable use for your mind!

[4] So since I have lived safely with you, still living and will still longer live with you and will faithfully remember to guard your house, so it is also for Me, as sometimes a somewhat troublesome part of living, no more than right and proper to pay you as the master of the house the housing and living interest at the right time.

[5] See, here I am already with a good "life insurance banknote" in My hand! Take it only into your internal domestic treasury, and you will experience in time how wonderfully this rare heavenly government paper pays a hundred times interest on itself!

[6] On this banknote there is nothing else written on it but only the simple word "love", written in legible writing. But you may be assured that this paper statement circulates in My kingdom as the only passable currency, without which in this My kingdom, absolutely no-one can exist. But with this banknote in your heart and in your hand, you can easily pass through My whole kingdom and endless heavenly country!

[7] Love therefore I give you, My dear K. G. L., My love as the sole pledge of eternal life in Me! Put it into the good "treasury" of your heart and you will soon yourself that this My "State Paper" is never subject to a falling price, but to an eternally rising price into infinity.

[8] All eternity and all infinity are subject to interest! Hence their eternal "life percentages" are also infinite.

[9] If therefore you have My love, you have everything and need not worry about anything any more. For this My love already in itself provides for everything eternally and has already provided for everything.

[10] You will not be able to say: Oh Father! So give me this love of Yours! Because I am giving it to you now as "rent". Accept it and use it eagerly at all times! Because you will not easily get rid of it. The more you will use it, the bigger and more valuable it will be, and it’s value will endure ever increasingly with life.

[11] But for this payment you have to put up with the fact that I will live with you for a longer time. And if I will now like it more and more in your house, in time you will have to put up with the fact that I will make your house completely My own with a good purchase schilling so that you can then say with Paul: Now I no longer live, but Christ lives in Me!

[12] So accept such things lovingly from My hand as the most expensive pledge of life in your day! Because I give it to you forever. Amen.
