Suffering and tribulation aids God ....

The earthly experience must help you humans attain spiritual maturity, then the purpose of earthly life will be fulfilled. And therefore life cannot pass by without disappointments and suffering, for only these contribute towards the human being turning his thoughts away from earthly things, whereas a carefree, happy earthly existence only chains the human being more tightly to the world and occupies every thought and now hardly turns towards God. Therefore, no event is in vain, whether it brings joy or suffering to the human being, and as soon as he derives the right benefit from everything, i.e. promotion for his soul, he will one day look back with gratitude on the means God used to help him attain eternal bliss.

The earthly effect of an event is unimportant with regard to the development of the soul, because earthly life was only given to the human being for the sake of the soul, because the soul is imperishable, whereas earthly life is not of eternal duration and therefore should not be taken seriously. But if an earthly experience has an influence on the soul and its development, it is always good, even though it brings the human being suffering and affliction, for this too will pass, but the soul constantly progresses upwards and once gratefully acknowledges that it could not have matured without suffering and affliction.

And so earthly life is a chain of such aids, all of which are given to the human being by God's wisdom and love and serve his development, if he does not rebel against them and unwillingly and grumblingly take these burdens upon himself. The human being should always be convinced that nothing comes upon him without God's will or His permission and that every event can bring him blessings, then he will also humbly accept the difficult, he will regard his earthly existence as a means to an end, as a path to perfection which is not only useful but necessary.

He will draw an advantage for his soul from every experience, for he will recognise everything that comes upon him as sent by God. He will then also live his life consciously and seriously think about how every test, every earthly event, can benefit his soul, and he will mature in knowledge, he will educate himself to patience and submission to God's will, he will purify himself through suffering and renunciations of all kinds and thus shape himself according to God's will, as well as he complainlessly submits to everything that is granted to him in earthly life.

Then no day on earth will have been lived in vain, he will make use of his last embodiment on earth, and his state of soul must mature, spiritual progress must be certain for him, even though he has to struggle hard on earth. For earthly life is a school which shall bring maturity to all people's souls .... Earth is a place of purification. And the human being will only be successful if he tests his will and strength against all kinds of resistance and thereby becomes stronger to overcome all temptations which approach him during his earthly life ....

Amen
