Where there is much light, there is also much shadow .... People often harbor an unusual hatred against their Creator, who loves all souls equally without reservation. Nevertheless, people do not know how I, as it were, share in the suffering that oppresses them and how I make it My business to offer them the healing potion that makes their lot on earth more beneficial. Every grace they can partake of, and every relief will be granted to them, if they only want .... But in such a hardened state it is difficult to turn their will to Me, and yet I must respect the free will in everyone .... I must not intervene arbitrarily and change destinies, which would only result in the opposite .... a strengthening of their self-consciousness .... Because thereby these children would be moved further and further away from Me.
If now a permanent state would arise in which the earthly man would be freed from his sufferings, then also enormous selfishness would soon take hold, and the soul could free itself from it's cover only with difficulty, because every spiritual question would remain undiscussed by the people, since a careless life would offer enough to satisfy their thoughts. It would be incomparably better for the earthly body, but it passes away and nothing of the pleasures of the world remains for the soul, but it passes naked and freezing cold into the hereafter and has to enter the same fight there .... but far more difficult .... which I would have spared you in earthly life out of false Fatherly love.
Do you not believe that your Father in His wisdom knows everything and always determines the best for His creatures? Should it not be left up to Him, to whom all creation is subject, which way He shows to the individual being? Do you know the torments that await you if I let you live unrestrainedly according to your desire? Or can you measure what bliss awaits you if you value the life imposed on you correctly and live according to My will? Do you believe that I take pleasure in seeing you suffer? Oh you fools, My love suffers with you, whom I have created .... and yet who no longer want to be Mine.
The desire for you is unspeakable, but My power is of no use there .... you have to find your way to Me voluntarily, and this again cannot be achieved by living well and carefree .... Then you would not ever find the way to Me. For I Myself am Love, Patience, the Truth, Mercy .... How can you reconcile this if you believe that I want you to suffer .... If you confess Me, you will feel My love like a mild balm on your sufferings, and My grace will constantly help you .... and all suffering will be taken away from you when it has fulfilled it's purpose .... the connection of the child to the Father's heart ....
Amen
