SMISAO LJUDSKE PATNJE, KUŠNJE – DUH LJENOSTI

U životu ima toliko puno stvari koje obeshrabre čovjeka. One su kao lanac/okov, koji vezuje srce. U trenucima velike žalosti i bola se u čovjeku uvijek iznova pojavljuju sumnje u Božju dobrotu i milostivost. No to ipak doprinosi vašem unutarnjem sazrijevanju za koje bi vam, inače, trebalo puno više vremena. A pošto vaš ovo-zemaljski život traje samo jedno kratko vrijeme, nužno je da se takva bolna i depresivna zbivanja učestalo događaju, često jedno za drugim tako da iz njih možete izvući blagoslove te da se prema vašem životu odnosite sa pažnjom i ozbiljnošću, i da sve više i više okrećete leđa svijetu i njegovim privlačnostima koja su za vas izuzetno opasna. Za neke život često izgleda nepodnošljiv a ponekad je takvo zemaljsko dijete toliko obeshrabreno da izgubi svoje srce i odustaje bez da se imalo potrudi ne bi li promijenilo svoju obeshrabrujuću situaciju. A ipak, bilo bi tako lako ukazati kojim putem trebate ići, samo ako bi imali ispravan stav prema Bogu. No uzmite u obzir mnoge naoko nepremostive prepreke u vašem životu. Da li bi ih ikada prevazišli da niste imali pomoći od gore?

No, vi ne prepoznajete uvijek tu pomoć kao pomoć 'sa visina', a ipak je svaki događaj djelo Božje Milosti, bio dobar ili pak loš on uvijek služi istoj svrsi, imenom, da vas, Moju Zemaljsku djecu, čini plemenitijima. Ako bi u svakom iskušenju bili u stanju vidjeti sredstvo za vaš napredak onda bi također odmah prepoznali i vaše vlastite greške i promašaje, a sa ovom spoznajom dolazi i volja da iste prevladate. Onda bi svaki test ispunio svoju svrhu – a vi shvatili kako je svaka teška situacija neophodna da se postigne viši stupanj savršenstva te da su one samo stepenice na ljestvama koje vode dušu do njezina savršenstva. Život bez borbe bi uistinu bilo stagniranje, a unutarnja borba protiv samog sebe je puno teža nego li borba protiv neprijatelja koji dolazi izvani. Svako buđenje iz ljenosti je korak naprijed.

Probuđeni čovjek će zapamtiti svoj duh i neće dozvoliti da ovaj gladuje, jer letargija vas 'spušta' dolje a u takvom stanju se ne možete smatrati 'živima'. Takvo stanje će pobijediti svaki poriv za aktivnošću te nikad ne može imati blagotvoran utjecaj na dušu. Stoga ne budite alarmirani u trenucima kada vam se životne poteškoće čine preteške jer kroz njih ćete otkriti vaše propuste i boriti se protiv njih, a onda neće proći previše vremena dok one u potpunosti ne nestanu, jer Gospodin dopušta takve testove samo dok se njihova svrha ne ostvari i dok oni ne ostvare svoj cilj, što je unaprijeđenje stanja ljudskih srdaca. Vaša patnja nije Njegova volja osim ako vas kroz nju ne čini dostojnima vječne radosti.

AMEN

Purpose of suffering - Trials.... Lethargy of the spirit....

Many things in life discourage the human being.... it is like a bond which binds the heart of such a person. Time and again doubts in the goodness and mercy of God arise when grief and suffering occur too often.... and yet they only give you an inner maturity which otherwise would take much longer to achieve. And since your earthly life only lasts a short time it is necessary that such depressing or painful occurrences must take place frequently and sometimes one after another so that you may derive blessings from them, that you look upon your life earnestly and carefully and that your desire turns more and more away from the world and its attractions, which are a serious danger to you. Life often seems unbearable for the individual, sometimes such an earthly child tires and loses heart.... it drifts without making any effort to change this discouraged existence. And yet it would be so easy for you as soon as the right attitude towards God shows you the way you have to go. But consider the many seemingly insurmountable obstacles in your life.... would you have escaped from them if you had not been given help from above every time....

But you do not always recognise this help as sent from above, yet every occurrence is a flow of God’s grace.... whether good or bad.... it always has the same purpose: to have a refining effect on you, My earthly children. If you can see in every test a means of improvement then you will also recognise your own shortcomings and failures, and with this recognition comes the quiet will to overcome them.... Then every trial has already served its purpose.... and therefore you must realise in every difficult situation that they are necessary to achieve a higher degree of maturity.... that they are steps on the ladder which leads the soul to perfection, so to speak. A life without struggle would only mean to stay on the same level, however, the battle against oneself is far more difficult to carry out than the battle against enemies who approach the human being from outside.

Every awakening from the lethargy of the spirit is a step forward.... the alert human being will remember his spirit and not let it starve, for lethargy is a relapse and cannot be called ‘enlivening’ in any way, it will defeat every urge to be active and can never have a beneficial influence on the soul. Therefore do not be alarmed when life’s difficulties seem hard to bear.... if they make you aware of your shortcomings and you fight them then they will disappear again in not too long a time, for the Lord only allows such trials until they have served their purpose and improved the heart of the human being. Because it is not His will that you should suffer except that through this you are made worthy of everlasting joy....

Amen
