True Life in God

while covering the citizens with balsam
and myrrh; you will supply them from
the reserves of heaven;”
creation, I have created you to fill your
heart with My sweetness and My Divine
Love; I have anointed your heart by
breathing in you and made it in such a
way that it should be able to contain and
maintain the sublime Love and
Sweetness of Myself; for My Love is
better than life itself; I never deprive any
heart of that joy of Myself, for having Me
contained in your heart without any
resistance from your part, the spiritual
consolations become so embedded in
you that your heart will only profit all
the more of My sweetness, of My Love
and of My Deity, leading you thus with
strings of love into the filial path to rule
with Me, your King; ruling with Me will
put on the beauty of My Glory on you,
while the angels and the whole celestial
Court will wrap the cloak of My Integrity
around you lifting you like a censer filled
with incense to fragrance the earth;
but if I find a tepid heart, whatever
Love and sweetness it contained at its
birth, this heart will never be able to
profit of My Presence; it would be as a
cracked cistern that continuously seeps
its content out, never holding them, and
no matter how much one fills it, it will
always run dry and will remain empty...
such a heart is finally deprived of that
joy known to My saints, for lack of faith
and giving preferences on earthly
indulgences and luxurious substances
other than My spiritual wealth, these
hearts after having been filled with My
Presence, gradually lose Me, just like the
liquid that would seep out of the cracks
in the cistern; and Satan, seeing no
resistance, envelops them then with his
darkness;
therefore, you who have never tasted
yet My sweetness but laid eternally in
bitter gall, rise now and come forward
for there is but one glory, one delight,
one ineffable moment of joy that can
become eternal, one ravishment of the
soul, and that is: to see Me and taste Me
your God;
yes, Vassula, your soul swooned the
other day when I graciously appeared to
you and while you were contemplating
Me, the ground seemed to sway under
your feet when My Glance fell on you,
you were mesmerised; My appearance
gave you a new mind and a new life; My
sweet conversation with you, wedded
you; My fragrance on you anointed you
to join the procession of My Angels and
Saints round My Presence and sing with
them a hymn of thanksgiving,
proclaiming all My wonders and My
prodigies, loving My heavenly Courts,
the place where My Glory makes its
home;
He who once said: “let there be light
in you,” My friend, the One who fills all
things without being contained by their
limits, invites you to refute all that is
evil; today, your King, your Creator and
your Bridegroom is offering you a great
banquet; with largesse and prodigality I
have by royal command given authority
to all My Angels to go from North to
South and from East to West and gather
you all, announcing that the Triune God,
in an ineffable way intends to transfigure
His creation; these Angels are the
Guardians of My Kingdom’s Threshold;
these will be the days in which your
soul has to be prepared and arrayed for
the Bridegroom; I display My Riches and
splendour of My Kingdom and the Glory
of My Majesty that belong to you to
enjoy them; I descend on earth, as I said,
as a Bridegroom in these days of
darkness and gloom, of affliction and
distress,
oppression and great
disturbances where demons are let loose
to go in all directions and deceive not
only the wretched and the impure of
heart but also the elite; O blessed
