Bless the enemies and keep the friends in your heart
28th April 1845, Greifenburg
Anselm H. on his name day. My dear, faithful Ans. H. W., thus speaks the Lord:
[1] My love, grace and mercy to your house always; because you are a busy citizen of My kingdom, which is eternal life! But you sometimes have a fierce temper in your house, and at times you let your heart be cheered up by the empty sight of a slender city lass. Alone, I tell you: All this is not good in My Father's House; for in all this there sticks earthly interest of the world, and this is not suitable for the house of the Lord of all life, for the house of the eternal Father! Therefore let go of this, and you will come many steps closer to Me!
[2] So you also have a desire to find out from the newspapers what is going on in the world, and in doing so you often become a partisan, wish victory to your party and defeat to the party opposing you. But I tell you that also such things are not good there; for if your party is defeated, you will be full of anger and wrath. And behold, this is not fruitful for a heart in which My love shall dwell; for this must embrace friends and enemies with equal fervor – just as the sun radiates it’s warmth and light over everything, whether it is good or evil.
[3] Behold, all people are more or less sinners and are unjust in their judgments. But if you want to be just, injustice of people need not annoy you! Bless the enemies and keep the friends in your heart, and you will be like Me, who blessed those on the cross who have crucified Me!
[4] This instruction is a precious gift to you – follow it, and you will have great benefit temporally and eternally.
[5] My love, grace and mercy to your house – and a little cross, which I will send you out of My love. Amen.
