The most significant moment in earthly life is the realization of one's own weakness and the attention of divine grace. Man will never recognize the latter as long as he believes himself to be strong. Only the feeling of weakness enables him to make use of divine grace, i.e. he desires something that takes away his feeling of weakness, and he then recognizes this tangible help as grace, as a gift, offered to him by God in love. And this realization is so significant for him because now, by asking for grace, the human being also consciously establishes a connection with God and this proves both his faith and his desire for God, which will certainly result in the soul's higher development. divine grace is a means of ascent, divine grace is furthermore already the fulfilment of prayer, it is proof of God's love; and where this expresses itself the human being need not fear that he will ever be forsaken by God. He need not fear a spiritual decline, but he need not fear earthly either, for the plea for divine grace will never remain unanswered, and standing in divine grace the human being will overcome everything. For divine grace is power that God bestows on people without their merit. Divine grace is not distributed according to worthiness, but all people can receive it without restriction, they only have to desire it and therefore ask for it. However, grace cannot be distributed unasked for. God will only ever draw people's attention to it or try to encourage them to desire His grace, but He will never give His grace to people who never believe they need it. These people are arrogant; they do not know that they are nothing if God wills it, but they believe that they can master everything in the world by their own strength. God has to show these people His strength, He has to make them helpless so that they then call upon Him for His grace, for then He will impart it to people and only then will the human being's soul begin to mature. But before that the walk on earth was without great spiritual success, although earthly man certainly found joy and physical satisfaction. Only what benefits the soul has lasting value, but not what the body desires and receives. And if the human being always and constantly asks for grace, the influx will never dry up, and living in divine grace brings the soul unimaginable blessings and is therefore the first and most important thing that must be recognized. For only now does the human being consciously work on his soul if he continuously requests divine grace so that it can flow to him unmeasured....
