5780 God's merciful love.... light is truth....

October 4, 1953: Book 63

My eye looks down mercifully to earth where countless people move in darkness, i.e. go their way without knowledge, in front of whom a dense wall is built which darkens everything and denies the rays of light any entrance.... My infinite love also wants to light a bright fire in this dark area which could radiate light on all sides again.... My love would also like to bring the light of realization to these people so that those who are still blind in spirit will become seeing, so that all would be able to behold Me Myself, Whom I want to be aspired to as the aim of their walk on earth.... But Whom they must see in order to recognize that I beckon to them, that I await them at the gate to eternal life.... As long as their eyes cannot see, as long as they are blind in spirit, they are in the night of death, for without light there is no morning, without light there is no bright day.... Only light is life, and only in light can they be active.

But light is truth.... Light is bright recognition and knowledge of the original light of eternity, of the deepest connections between creator, creations and creatures.... Light is all knowledge that corresponds to truth, which shows a clear path, at the end of which I Myself receive the wayfarer.... Light is truth.... My eye mercifully looks down to earth at the great number of people who are without truth.... who are without knowledge or in possession of wrong knowledge and walk and walk without reaching the right aim, and who only enter the right path when the light of truth illuminates it, when their spirit is enlightened, when they catch the ray of love which shall strike their heart and which proves My infinite love for all My creations.... How many people walk close to the right path so that they would only need to take one step to enter it, but which they don't want to take because they believe they are walking on the right path. But it is not bright and shadowless.... because it is not illuminated by the light of truth. It reveals many dark abysses where the human being is in great danger of falling if he does not turn to the dull glimmer of light from the right path which always directs his steps more and more towards where the light shines brightly and radiantly.... The human being must attain the truth because only then will he be touched by My divine light of love and because only then will he recognize Me correctly and strive towards Me as the aim which alone is desirable to him.... Just desire the truth deep in your heart, and with this desire you kindle the little light, and then you will carry it before you and cover all your paths safely, for the light will always let you recognize the right path, the light has kindled My love in you which you desire as soon as you desire the truth. And the ray of love emanating from Me also leads back to Me.... And walls, however dense, will dissolve in the penetrating light of truth.... the most impenetrable darkness will give way to the light which is the truth from God....

Amen
