4764 Hardship - test of faith.... God meets the needs of the body....

October 25, 1949: Book 54

Everything can be taken from you, yet you will not need to live in want if only you commend yourselves to Me. Everything comes from Me, and thus I can also give you back at any time what you need for the preservation of life. Yet you should not only think of your body but only make sure that you do not leave the soul in need, for for its sake alone the body's need approaches you. But I will not leave anyone who puts his soul's salvation before all physical needs in the adversity of soul and body, and thus he need not worry about earthly things either. For I always know what he lacks and give to him at the right time. And so don't let yourselves be frightened if you get into a hardship which seems insurmountable to you, know that I am always on standby and that you only have to pass the test of faith for your own sake before I intervene. Don't be frightened but only believe and thus let Me work for you.... What happens to you is a process of redemption with the most certain effect, and as soon as you look at your whole life in this way all fear must leave you, after all, I am the one Who wants to shape you into His children and therefore gave you life. Therefore, if you recognize your father in Me you can confidently entrust yourselves to Me in the firm belief that the father helps His children wherever it is necessary. Yet I draw your attention to the fact that you should not despair in days of adversity, that you should not become anxious but only lift your eyes with full faith to the one from Whom help comes. And He will help you because you are His children and because a father loves his children and will not ever withdraw this love from them....

Amen
