THE TRUE DIRECTION OF LIFE

In the year 1857

[1] They who seek Me are they who are drawn by the Father; for it says in the Scriptures "You must all be taught by God; who does not learn from God, does not come to the light, and no-one comes to Me – the Son – unless the Father draws him!

[2] According to the understanding of this time, this means: No-one can reach the true inner light of life, which is equal to the Son, without true active love, which is what you call 'Father'.

[3] Love is therefore the Father, and wisdom is the Son. But since in the Son is love as the actual God-being, without which there would be no fire of life, no flame, and therefore also no light and no divine wisdom of life, so in Me only – the Son – also the divine personal Being is united, to which no-one can reach anyhow through what and where else, but only through the love for Me.

[4] But if you have such love for Me, then you also have My love in you, on which you can put mountains of faith, and you will become sure of what you want and desire in yourself out of such My love. Because no other power can eternally hinder the power of My love because everybody reacts to it like nothing responds to infinity.

[5] You need not first ask Me whether it would therefore be right and proper for Me, one way or another, but My love in your own heart will tell you. For whose heart is full of love towards Me, how should he then be able to act other than just right, since after all no-one can act against his love and against the will recognized from love?

[6] Whoever is full of worldly love, will also act accordingly; and whoever is full of My love will also act according to it, and can be just as little absent from it as the magnetic needle can ever miss the region of the north, because it is thus attracted by the north pole.

[7] Therefore should you, My child, not be worried! As long as you feel My love with certainty in you because you seek Me and love Me, so long will it be your most faithful guiding star of life.

[8] Whatever your heart tells you, so that it is filled with My true active love, do it! Will and do not doubt in your soul that it will succeed. But first test yourself whether your heart loves Me completely according to My words in the Gospel! Seek to fully comply with what I, as the commandment of love, give to all people, and you have to the fullest extent everything from My love Amen! I your Love, say this to you. Amen.
