Living faith and trust in God ....

B.D. No. 1442 May 29th 1940

Living faith and unrestrained trust in God are indispensable for an easy life on earth. The human being has to be convinced of God's love and omnipotence, then nothing on earth will frighten him, he will unconditionally submit himself to the heavenly father, for he knows that he is safe and secure in His love. And thus you should take care that your faith is strong and that you trustingly present every request to Him, and you will also courageously face the most difficult events. Faith therefore conveys divine strength to you, for through faith you regocnize it and through your trust you draw it to yourselves. What you hope for from God's love is already fulfilled for you before you have expressed it, because faith in His love and omnipotence is inherent in you .... Rock-solid faith can make the impossible possible, for nothing is impossible for God and your faith is, as it were, the guarantee that God will reveal His omnipotence. For if a child places complete trust in its father, then the father will not want to disappoint this trust of the child and He will fulfil His child's desire. It is unspeakably important and valuable in earthly life to be believing and trusting, for both lead to an intimate connection with the father in heaven, a believing earthly child will be able to establish contact with Him more easily and approach Him childlike, asking and trusting and without doubt. He will therefore easily establish the right relationship, which is the prerequisite for a life on earth rich in grace .... The human being will have an advantage over those who are without faith and therefore have no support in the hardships which are a bitter necessity in order to allow the earthly child to find the right relationship with the father so that it can also be seized by God's love. Recognizing divine love, wisdom and omnipotence is a prerequisite in order to be able to live earthly life consciously .... For faith is the acknowledgement of God's omnipotence and wisdom, while God's love is regocnized through deep trust in God and the human being unconditionally abandons himself to God's care if he is a believer and can now walk his earthly path without worry, always knowing that he is protected by God's infinite love and goodness ....

Amen
