7113 Creation is a revelation of God....

May 6, 1958: Book 76

The miracles of divine creations leave you apathetic, you take everything for granted and are not aware that even the smallest work of creation testifies to God's love, wisdom and omnipotence, Whom you should therefore love with all fervour because He only let these creations of His come into being for you. Yet you pass by all these miraculous works, they mean nothing to you, they are dead objects for you which hardly touch your heart, indeed, they are often not even evidence of a God and creator to you but you think of them as having arisen from themselves, without the will and strength of a living God.... Your whole earthly life is a single miracle, for no-one on earth is able to create a human being with all functions and abilities of his own accord.... yet you do not pay attention to even this greatest miracle.... but you walk your pilgrimage on earth indifferently, unaware of the purpose for which you were created as you are.... And the whole of creation around you should cause thousands of questions to arise in you, the answers to which would only make you most blissfully happy.... But you have eyes to see and yet walk blindly. And thus God can only rarely address you humans through creation in order to induce you to turn to Him in your thoughts. Although He has placed His works of love before your eyes, they are not enough for you to contemplate them in your thoughts of Him, which would then enable Him to also speak to you in thought.... And therefore He seeks to reveal Himself to you in another way.... by intervening 'disturbingly' in your earthly life, by trying to shake you out of your indifference and calmness.... You are fatefully afflicted by adversities or failures which you, as a mere human being, are not able to cope with, which you are not able to change on your own authority. Again, God wants to show you that a higher power is at work, to Whom you should now take the path, to Whom you should mentally entrust yourselves.... because this very bond between you and Him is indispensable and God seeks to achieve it in some way. This bond would be very easy for every human being to establish precisely through creation, through the countless miraculous works which God has brought into being and which you can constantly behold and take pleasure in..... Creation is a revelation of God which can only be surpassed by the direct transmission of His word; but the latter already presupposes an accomplished bond with Him, whereas the works of creation can cause every human being to establish this bond and also to recognize God's infinite love, wisdom and omnipotence, which obviously prove themselves to the human being if only he immerses himself in thought with his eyes open into those countless miracles of divine love. And there is no more satisfying thought than that everything man sees has been created for him.... partly in order to please him as a human being and to let him find God, partly in order to make human existence possible for the spiritual, which is still behind in its development.... that is below the human being who walks the earth. The 'foreboding' and later the 'knowledge' of this can be gained by the human being who once seriously occupies himself with such thoughts which have creation and its creator as their content. A revelation will reveal itself to him which will make him happy and can determine his whole course of earthly life, he will be seized by an incomprehensible awe and love for his creator, and He Himself will speak to him by giving his thoughts the right direction, by causing him again and again to unite with Him, and thus the possibility is also given that God will reveal Himself directly to the human being through the inner word.... For anyone who observes the miracles of creation in the right spirit will also have a heart that glows with love for the creator, for his environment. And love will then be a firm bond, love itself will reveal itself in the heart of a person who has kindled the flame of love within himself....

Amen
