God's gift: the spark of love, a part of Himself....

You are lacking light and strength because you are still imperfect. However, without light and strength you will not attain perfection either and would hopelessly have fallen prey to a wretched state were you not granted help and first given light and strength, which subsequently enables you to reach the state of perfection. Hence, at the beginning of your life on earth you are oblivious of the correlations, of the meaning of your earthly life and your task, you are completely without knowledge.... you are lacking light.... And if this is brought to you by way of being instructed of your earthly task then you, on the other hand, lack the strength to attain your spiritual perfection as long as you don't acquire the strength for yourselves, which can only ever happen through kind-hearted activity. And for the acquisition of this strength.... thus for being lovingly active.... you usually lack the will, because your imperfect state also signifies an exceedingly weakened will.... So this is how you are at the beginning of your earthly life which was only given to you to shape your imperfect nature into becoming perfect. Your life on earth would therefore be incredibly hopeless had God's love not granted you something to help you attain perfection again: He placed a minutely small spark of His infinite spirit of love into you .... This tiny spark of love is His share, it is inseparably united with Him, it is spirit from His spirit, light from His eternal essence of light and strength at the same time.... This tiny spark is capable of achieving a change in you so that all imperfection will fade away and enable you to leave this earth as radiant beings of light. But this requires you to kindle this tiny spark yourselves, that you provide it with nourishment so that it can spread out.... it requires you to allow the divine spirit of love to impel you into activity of love, for that is its task, it is God's help that this spiritual spark constantly tries to influence you from within to do works of love.... because 'love' equals 'light and strength', because ignorance and lack of strength fade away as a result of activity of love.... because love is the only mean to become as perfect again as the being was at the start. Without this spark of love no-one would reach this goal in earthly life, for the being had once completely rejected all of God's illumination of love of its own free will and was no longer able to love correctly, which is its legacy of the one who was the first to renounce God's love....

Thus the human being is this once-fallen being which believed itself capable of existing without divine illumination of love.... Admittedly, it could no longer perish again but the state of a fallen being became a completely different one than as it was originally created.... For only love is the invigorating strength which enables the being to be blissfully active, without love the being is dead and in spiritual darkness and therefore must also feel tremendously wretched. Yet despite having formerly rejected His love God placed this minutely small spark of love into every human heart and so established contact between Himself and the person, which, however, must also be utilised by the person, because even this spark of love, the part of the divine spirit, does not coerce the human being's will. Nevertheless, with gentle urges it tries to influence this will to practice love, which then can ignite a flame in the person's heart spreading light and at the same time providing the person with strength to change his nature. Therefore it is possible for every human being to obtain light and strength for himself in earthly life, but since free will must not be excluded God's spirit of love remains in the background and does not compel a person into activity which causes his perfection.... on account of which countless people fail to make use of the great gift of grace and thus remain in darkness and weakness from which only activity of love can release the soul....

Amen

BOŽJI DAR: ISKRA LJUBAVI, DIO NJEGA SAMOGA....

Vama nedostaje svjetla i snage jer ste još nesavršeni. Međutim, bez svjetla i snage vi niti nećete postići savršenstvo i beznadežno bi pali žrtvom bijednog stanja da vam nije bila podarena pomoć i najprije dani svjetlo i snaga, što vam naknadno omogućava postići stanje savršenstva. Dakle, na početku vašeg života na Zemlji, vi ste zaboravljivi u svezi međuodnosa, u svezi vašeg zemaljskog života i vašeg zadatka, vi ste potpuno bez znanja.... vama nedostaje svjetlo.... A ako vam je ono bilo dostavljeno na način da ste bili podučeni o vašem zemaljskom zadatku, tada vam, s druge strane, nedostaje snaga da postignete vaše duhovno savršenstvo sve dok ne steknete snagu za sebe, što se može dogoditi jedino uvijek kroz dobrodušnu aktivnost. A za stjecanje ove snage.... time da se bude Ljubav-no aktivan.... vama obično nedostaje volja, jer vaše nesavršeno stanje također naznačava izuzetno oslabljenu volju. Dakle ovo je kakvi vi jeste na početku vašeg zemaljskog života koji vam je bio dan samo da bi oblikovali vašu nesavršenu prirodu da postane savršena. Vaš život na Zemlji bi stoga bio nevjerojatno beznadežan da vam Božja Ljubav nije podarila nešto što će vam pomoći da ponovno postignete savršenstvo: On je postavio izuzetno sićušnu iskru svog beskrajnog Duha Ljubavi u vas.... Ova sićušna iskra Ljubavi je Njegov udio, ona je neodvojivo ujedinjena s Njim, ona je duh iz Njegovog Duha, svjetlo iz Njegove vječne suštine Svjetla i Snage istovremeno.... Ova sićušna iskra je sposobna za postignuće promjene u vama tako da će svo nesavršenstvo iščeznuti i omogućiti vam da napustite ovu Zemlju kao zračeća bića svjetla. Ali ovo zahtijeva od vas da sami zapalite ovu sićušnu iskru, da joj osigurate hranjenje tako da se može raširiti.... to zahtijeva od vas da dozvolite Božanskom Duhu Ljubavi da vas potakne na Ljubav-nu aktivnost, jer je to njen zadatak, Božja je pomoć da ova duhovna iskra stalno pokušava utjecati na vas iznutra da činite djela Ljubavi.... jer 'Ljubav' je istoznačna 'svjetlu i snazi', jer neznanje i nedostatak snage iščezavaju kao rezultat aktivnosti Ljubavi.... jer je Ljubav jedino sredstvo da postanete ponovno savršeni kao što je biće bilo na početku. Bez ove iskre Ljubavi nitko ne bi dosegnuo ovaj cilj u zemaljskom životu, jer je biće jednom potpuno odbacilo svo Božje osvjetljenje Ljubavi svojom vlastitom voljom i više nije bilo u mogućnosti ispravno ljubiti, što je njegovo nasljeđe od onoga koji je bio prvi koji se odrekao Božje Ljubavi....

Tako je ljudsko biće ovo jednom palo biće koje je za sebe vjerovalo da može postojati bez Božanskog osvjetljenja Ljubavi.... Doduše, ono nije moglo opet iščeznuti [[(prestati postojati)]], ali stanje palog bića je postalo sasvim drugačije od onoga kakvo je bilo izvorno stvoreno.... Jer samo je Ljubav okrepljujuća snaga koja omogućuje biću da bude blaženo aktivno, bez Ljubavi je biće mrtvo i u duhovnoj tami, te se stoga također mora osjećati strahovito bijedno. Ipak, unatoč prethodnom odbacivanju Njegove Ljubavi, Bog je položio ovu izuzetno sićušnu iskru Ljubavi u svako ljudsko srce i tako uspostavio kontakt između Njega i osobe, koja međutim mora biti iskorištena od strane osobe, jer čak ni ova iskra Ljubavi, dio Božanskog Duha, ne prisiljava volju ljudskog bića. Unatoč tome, sa nježnim nagonjenjima ona pokušava utjecati na ovu volju da prakticira Ljubav, što onda može zapaliti plamen u srcu osobe šireći svjetlo i istovremeno opskrbljujući osobu snagom da promijeni svoju prirodu. Stoga je moguće za svako ljudsko biće da zadobije svjetlo i snagu za sebe u zemaljskom životu, ali budući da slobodna volja ne smije biti isključena, Božji Duh Ljubavi ostaje u pozadini i ne prisiljava osobu u aktivnost koja uzrokuje njegovo savršenstvo.... naračun čega nebrojeni ljudi ne uspijevaju iskoristiti veliki dar milosti i tako ostaju u tami i slabosti od kojih samo aktivnost Ljubavi može osloboditi dušu.

AMEN
