GOD'S PERPETUAL CARE FOR MAN

How often do I approach you men, how often do I address you, how often do I pull you back from danger, offering you My guidance upon your life-path. But rarely do you recognise Me. My obvious guidance you regard as mere chance, whilst My address passes by your hearts. - Me you are not able to recognise because your sights are set past Me, towards the world. Yet My care pursues you? and notwithstanding your location in the world-bustle. I yet do not leave your side, waiting always for the moment you become conscious of Me, that you would voluntarily place yourselves under My protection: that amid the joys of the world you would yet feel your depravation, and start to look around for Him Who pursues you and Who can help you.

I do not let up on revealing Myself to men?. even where the result is feeble and hardly perceptible. I yet take not of the faintest desire to approach Me, and I shall not leave his side again. - My love induces Me to not give you up, even when you move through life with the greatest indifference, not seeking a connection with Me.

Yet I do not coerce you into hearing Me, and hence My words are only soft and unobtrusive, so that it becomes easy for you to overhear them if taking no note of Me. They do not resound with the loudness of the world, which gains your attention for that reason.

And I do not impose Myself, so that you would turn to Me in free will; but I do not let you go without small contacts, I nudge you softly into paths where, lonesome and feeble, you would start looking around for help, in order for Me to then be able to emerge and offer you My help.

I leave out none of you men whilst you have not found Me yet; and due to there being not much time before the end, men must tread shorter paths - and these are much harder and more strenuous to travel, because I want them to need and ask for My guidance.

The blows of fate shall be piling up, men shall have to go through much want and misery yet, because they are further removed from Me than ever, even when I pursue them step by step. I shall not give them up before their life's end, and My knocks shall be ever harder, in order to scare them out of their indifference. But it is not I Who determines their reaction, although this shall once determine their lot in the spirit kingdom.

Because your will remains free, and My love does not determine it even when it chooses death, where on the other hand it could earn itself everlasting life.

AMEN
