Those who love God will derive a benefit from everything. For God takes particularly good care of them, and if suffering and worries or harsh strokes of fate are granted to them, He will only ever use these means in order to help the soul become perfect. You humans will frequently experience that precisely those fellow human beings who make every effort to live a God-pleasing life are being afflicted by strokes of fate, and you cannot comprehend why they must suffer and struggle so much on earth.... But neither do you know about their glorious fate after their death. 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which I have prepared for those who love Me....' And God wants to prepare the soul which grants Him its love on earth for this bliss. For the soul must have reached a specific degree of maturity before it can enter the eternal splendour, that is, it must be clean and pure, it must have discarded all impurities which prevent it from entering this magnificent kingdom. Only rarely is a soul so perfected that it would need no suffering, no means of purification of any kind. Its heartfelt devotion of God and its love for Him will often be rewarded by Him in a way which you humans on earth, admittedly, cannot understand, whereby through suffering and adversity He helps where the human being himself is still too weak. Yet all those afflicted by suffering shall take comfort in the fact that everything will benefit their soul as long as they only 'love God'.... And they prove their love for God through humble devotion to Him, through their will to live correctly and righteously, and by fulfilling the commandment of love for their neighbour, which also incorporates the fulfilment of love for God. Anyone who loves the next person as himself has the right relationship with God, for his indwelling strength of love is God's emanation, which was only able to affect him because he loves God. No suffering should therefore dishearten that person who has already voluntarily handed himself over to God. He should only ever regard it as the evidence of God's love, Who wants to help him to still mature fully during the short time on earth, in order to then be able to provide him with an inconceivable measure of bliss. Do not allow the difficulties of a stroke of fate to depress you or make you waver in your faith.... For this, too, will have been determined by God's love and wisdom, Who certainly knows what the individual still requires, Who does nothing or lets nothing happen arbitrarily but always pursues a plan which, one day, will also be clearly presented to you when you have successfully completed your life on earth. You must not compare God's reign and activity to that of a human being's conduct, for even if a person is good, he nevertheless lacks the final wisdom which is always the decisive factor for everything that God inflicts upon a person, the wisdom which is only based on God's love. And thus God also realises the outcome a person's every experience can result in, and He aims to achieve this outcome.... And it will certainly raise the state of maturity of a soul which loves God.... Earthly life is only short and you humans do not have much time left in order to enable you to leave the Earth so matured that you can be granted glories beyond measure.... And in view of this, God Himself will help you by still providing you with opportunities to prove yourselves during this short time, which you can certainly do successfully if you humbly accept everything.... always believing God only allows for that to come upon you which is helpful for you. You should not quarrel and grumble, you should not doubt His love. Your love for Him must remain the same while you submit to everything you receive from the Father's hand. For regardless of whether it is His will or merely His permission.... it will always benefit the salvation of your souls as long as you remain inclined towards Him with love. Otherwise His Words 'Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which I have prepared for those who love Me....' would not be warranted. Your love ensures that His promise will be granted, and if you have this certain and firm faith, you will also endure everything with ease, everything will become less severe and significant, even if, in the beginning, it seems very difficult for you to bear....
Amen
TranslatorOnima koji vole Boga, sve će biti od koristi. Jer njih Bog posebno ‚obuhvaća’, pa iako su im suđeni muka i briga ili teški udari sudbine, On ta sredstva koristi samo kako bi duši pomogao da postigne savršenstvo. I vi ljudi ćete često doživjeti da baš oni ljudi koji žive Bogu mio život, bivaju zahvaćeni teškom sudbinom, te ne možete shvatiti zašto se oni moraju patiti i mučiti na Zemlji.... Ali vi ne znate kakva divna sudbina ih očekuje nakon smrti. „Ono što ljudsko oko nije vidjelo, niti ljudsko uho čulo, to sam pripremio onima koji Me vole....“ A za tu blaženost Bog želi osposobiti [[onu]] dušu koja Mu poklanja svoju ljubav na Zemlji. Jer, da bi mogla ući u vječnu slavu, duša mora postići određeni stupanj zrelosti, što znači: mora biti čista i bistra, mora se(be) lišiti svih nečistoća koje joj sprečavaju ulazak u [[te]] sfere veličanstvenosti. Rijetko je duša toliko savršena da je ikakva muka, ikakvo sredstvo za pročišćenje izlišno. Njena predanost Bogu i njena ljubav prema Njemu je od strane Boga često nagrađena na način neshvatljiv vama ljudima na Zemlji, time što joj On pomaže putem patnje i muke, tamo gdje je čovjek još preslab. Međutim, svi patnjom pogođeni to trebaju doživljavati kao prednost/pogodnost koja im [[je od]] koristi, ljube li Boga.... A ljubav prema Bogu dokazuju smjernom predanošću Njemu, svojom voljom za pristojnim/ispravnim i pravednim životom, i ispunjavanjem zapovijedi ljubavi prema bližnjemu, koja [[u sebi]] uključuje i oživotvorenje ljubavi prema Bogu. Tko bližnjega voli kao sâmog sebe, taj se nalazi i u ispravnom odnosu prema Bogu, jer ona sila koja u njemu djeluje, Božje je zračenje koje ga može dodirnuti samo zato što voli Boga.
Dakle, patnja ne bi trebala obeshrabriti čovjeka koji se slobodnom voljom predao Bogu. Taj čovjek bi je trebao neprestano doživljavati kao dokaz ljubavi Boga, Koji mu želi pomoći da za vrijeme kratkog zemaljskog života potpuno sazrije, kako bi ga onda mogao učiniti sretnim do stupnja koji prevazilazi mogućnost shvaćanja. I ne dozvolite si da vas težina sudbine tlači ili pokoleba u vjeri.... Jer i tada je Božja ljubav i mudrost bila presudna, pošto Bog itekako zna što je pojedincu potrebno, Bog ne čini ništa niti dopušta da se išta događa proizvoljno, već neprestano slijedi plan koji će vam jednom kada ste uspješno završili zemaljski život biti jasno predstavljen. Ne smijete Božje dirigiranje i djelovanje uspoređivati sa ljudskim načinom postupanja, jer čak i kad je čovjek dobar, nedostaje mu krajnja mudrost, koja je presudna u svemu što Bog dozvoljava da čovjeka zadesi, mudrost koja je utemeljena isključivo u Božjoj ljubavi. A iz ljubavi proizlazeće mudrosti Bog [[pre- ili s-]]poznaje i svaki mogući rezultat [[svakog]] ljudskog iskustva, i Bog se orijentira prema tom rezultatu.... A rezultat će za-sigurno biti bolji/veći kod duše koja voli Boga....
Zemaljski život je jako kratak, i vama ljudima ne preostaje više puno vremena za napuštanje Zemlje onako zrelo da vam to može osigurati neizmjerni priliv radosti. I glede toga sâm Bog vam pomaže time što vam u tom kratkom vremenskom periodu još daje mogućnosti u kojima se trebate i možete pokazati valjanim/prokušanim, samo ako sve predano primite/uzmete [[= na sebe]].... vjerujući uvijek da Bog dozvoljava da vam se događa samo ono što vam [[je od]] koristi. Ne smijete odbijati i tužiti se, ne smijete sumnjati u Njegovu ljubav. Vaša ljubav prema Njemu mora ostati nepromjenjena, pokoravajući se svemu što primite iz Očeve ruke. Jer, bilo to Njegova volja ili samo Njegovo dopuštenje.... to će uvijek biti korisno za dobrobit/spas vaše duše, sve dok ste Mu posvećeni u ljubavi. Jer inače Njegove riječi ‘ljudsko oko nije vidjelo, niti je ljudsko uho čulo što sam priredio onima koji Me ljube’ ne bi imale smisla.... Vaša ljubav vam osigurava ispunjenje Njegovog obećanja, i budite čvrsto sigurni u ispunjenje istoga, jer tada ćete sve i podnositi lako, sve će gubiti na težini i zamašnosti, koliko god da vam se to na početku činilo teško.
AMEN
