True Life in God
Notebook 97
The Spirit of God speaks through me,
His Word is on my tongue,
He embedded me in His Heart
like a precious stone on a crown,
He stooped from His Throne
to lay on my path a bed of roses;
You have yielded Your Sceptre
to a non-existent creature
never caring whether
this merciful gesture of Yours
would cheapen Your Sceptre;
I have been taught
learnings of the Sages in Your Bosom,
from a filthy rag
You’ve turned me into Your herald,
Blessed is Your Name. Amen.
March 9, 1999
The Spirit of God revealed to me
how one becomes a child of God;
being thus freed, we can now enjoy
the same freedom and glory
as the rest of the other children of God.
The Spirit of Love has unfolded
in front of my eyes
the Glory of the Triune God
with all Their Splendour and Treasures.
And now I can say
with tranquillity in my soul:
“The Spirit has captured my soul
and turned me into His belonging,
and at the same time
gave me my real freedom.
In His Grace He offered me
a Royal Festival,
He offered Himself to me.
Then, like a River, He flowed in me,
renewing me without ceasing,
renewing my union with the Triune God;
Supplier of all gifts,
You have given me Your friendly Flame
communicating with me in Person,
bringing me to the Father
and to the Son,
uniting my soul to them as well;
Divine Flame of my heart,
You who transfigured
Your abode to Your taste
to satisfy Yourself and satisfy me,
I now shout for joy!
I can hear now a Voice
and I can no longer say:
“I do not recognise”;
I feel a Breath sliding over my face
and I cannot deny
that Someone is standing before me,
smiling, shining,
how can I say: “I am not
in the presence of the Divine”?
Now I have opened my mouth
but my tongue shaped those words
through the Spirit
and if my heart will utter
words of wisdom, again it will be
through the Spirit of Grace.
My Vassula,
1
I want equality of love ....
love Me and aspire from Me all the
divine inspirations which belong to the
sons and daughters of the Most High; I
have set Our dwelling-place
2
in order, I
have put everything straight, because I
am a God of order; I have been visiting
you as I did with the Apostles to restore
Our sanctuary
3
for Our good pleasure,
then I have set My Throne inside you; I
revealed My gifts and My treasures to
you, and I adorned you with My mere
Presence, it pleased Me to possess you,
and pour in you My Wisdom so that your
soul shines forth in splendour; I have
immersed you in Our limpid springs, to
revive you;
– And I can say now:
“I found rest,
and I am enjoying Your Riches;”
even when I depart from this earth
I will leave these Treasures
for future generations that are to come.
