Worldly pleasures?....

You have been granted a small measure of self-love by Me, and therefore you may also enjoy the pleasures of life as long as they do not affect your soul's salvation. And to recognize this only requires a will turned towards Me, it only requires the firm resolution to live according to My will and to reach your spiritual aim which has been set for you for your earthly life. If this will controls you, that you want to return to Me again, that you don't want to go against My will, then you are also on the path of return to Me, then you have already passed your test of will to a certain extent, you have inwardly professed Me, and then you will also reach your aim because I will support you in every way. And then even the small pleasures you occasionally prepare for yourselves earthly will not harm you. For then you will know exactly how to measure yourselves because you will obey the voice of conscience which warns you against every exaggeration. You can confidently be happy with the happy, you can enjoy your existence if only you always remember your neighbour so that he is not sad while you are happy, for then he is in need and then you should help him.... Therefore I have given you the commandment to love your neighbour as yourselves. And if you observe this commandment then you also have the right to prepare little pleasures for yourselves. And everyone will also know which pleasures are permissible if he is already on the path of spiritual striving, if he does not exclude Me from his thoughts, if he puts salvation before everything else for his soul, for then he can only enjoy things which are no danger for his soul. Then he will have a fine sense if and when he violates My will because he does not want to sin, just as, on the other hand, he will have an aversion of his own accord to worldly pleasures which harm his soul. Love your neighbour as yourself.... This commandment therefore also contains a certain entitlement to a measure of self-love, and you should only ever make sure that you don't exceed this measure. For it also obliges you towards your neighbour, to whom you should then bestow the same measure of love. Therefore, if you no longer had the slightest self-love, then the obligation towards your neighbour would also only be slight. But blessed is he who reduces self-love in favour of his neighbour.... For he truly fulfils My commandment for My joy.... But the small pleasures which you sometimes give yourselves must never be a diminution of your love for your neighbour, and you must also be willing to give them away at any time if you can help your neighbour by doing so. And you will also always recognize what is right and what is wrong as long as you want to maintain the bond with Me with a pure heart.... you will not act against My will, and you will also be protected against temptations of all kinds as long as you seek to fulfil My will alone.... For then you will inwardly resist all such temptations and also receive the strength to resist from Me. For I act like a true father towards you who want to be and remain My children, and a father protects his child from every danger...._>Amen

SVETOVNI UŽITKI?....

Vam je iz Moje strani odobrena neka mera samoljubja; in zato vi ravno tako lahko uživate v življenjskih veseljih, vse dokler le ta negativno ne vplivajo na odrešenje vaše duše. Toda za razpoznavanje tega je potrebna le volja, ki je usmerjena k Meni. Potreben je le trden namen, da živite v skladu z Mojo voljo in da dosežete svoj duhovni cilj, ki vam je postavljen za vaše zemeljsko življenje. Če v vas vlada ta volja, da se vi želite ponovno vrniti k Meni, da vi ne želite več grešiti zoper Moje volje, potem se vi ravno tako nahajate na poti vrnitve k Meni, potem ste vi v določeni meri že položili vaš izpit volje. Vi ste se znotraj izjasnili za Mene in vi boste potem tudi dosegli vaš cilj, ker vas Jaz podpiram na vsakršen način. Potem vam ravno tako ne škodujejo majhna veselja (zadovoljstva, užitki), ki si jih včasih privoščite. Vi namreč tedaj znate precizno držati pravilno mero, ker poslušate glas vesti, ki vas opozarja na vsako pretiravanje. Mirno se lahko veselite v veseljih; lahko uživate vaše življenje, če se le vedno spomnite vašega bližnjega, da ne bo ostal žalosten, medtem ko ste vi veseli; takrat je namreč on v težavi in vi mu morate pomagati (Rimljanom 12:15)....

Zato Sem vam dal zapoved, da Ljubite vašega bližnjega kot samega sebe. In če spoštujete to zapoved, potem imate tudi pravico, da si privoščite majhna zadovoljstva. In vsakdo bo ravno tako vedel, katera zadovoljstva so mu dovoljena takrat, ko je on že na poti duhovnega stremljenja, ko Me on ne izključuje iz svojih misli, ko on najprej postavlja v ospredje odrešenje svoje duše, ker se on lahko veseli samo stvarem, ki ne predstavljajo nikakršne nevarnosti za njegovo dušo. Potem bo on imel natančen občutek, ali on in kdaj greši zoper Moje volje; on namreč ne želi grešiti, kakor bo obenem tudi čutil odbojnost do svetovnih užitkov, kateri povzročajo škodo njegovi duši.

Ljubi svojega bližnjega kot samega sebe.... Tako v tej zapovedi leži določeno opravičilo za neko količino samoljubja; in vi morate vedno paziti na to, da ta mera ne bo presežena. S tem imate namreč vi ravno tako obveznost do bližnjega, kateremu morate potem dati „enako“ mero Ljubezni. Torej če vi ne bi imeli več niti najmanj samoljubja, potem bi bila tudi vaša obveznost do vašega bližnjega le čisto majhna.... Toda blagor tistemu, ki zmanjšuje samoljubje „v korist bližnjega“.... On namreč resnično izpolnjuje Mojo zapoved, zaradi Mojega veselja.... Čeprav pa mahjna zadovoljstva, ki si jih včasih privoščite, ne smejo nikoli bližnjega prikrajšati za vašo Ljubezen; in vi morate biti ravno tako vedno pripravljeni dati, če tako lahko ponudite pomoč bližnjemu. In ravno tako boste vedno prepoznali to, kar je pravično in kar je nepravično, vse dokler vi želite čistega srca ohraniti vezo z Menoj.... vi ne boste delovali proti Moji volji, kakor boste obenem tudi zaščiteni pred vsakovrstno skušnjavo, če si vi edinole prizadevate izpolniti Mojo voljo.... Potem se namreč vi znotraj vas upirate vsem tovrstnim skušnjavam in obenem tudi od Mene prejemate moč, da se uprete. Jaz se namreč obnašam kot pravičen Oče do vas, ki želite biti ter ostati Moji otroci; in Oče ščiti svojega otroka pred vsako nevarnostjo.

AMEN
