Notebook 124 True Life in God 165 __________________________________________________________________________________ Dark; it is written1 that though I came into the world spreading My Light into the world, men have shown they prefer Darkness to the Light because their deeds are evil; indeed, everybody who does wrong hates the Light and avoids it, for fear his actions should be exposed; but the man who lives by the Truth comes into the Light, so that all he does may be seen that it is done in God; Your Words my Lord and King, superlative honey; blended incense from incense-bearing trees the scent of Your splendid Garments, encrusted with every precious stone; Your Presence, glorious perfection; when You open Your lips a Ray of Light so pure pervades and permeates all things; unrivalled in Beauty, how can anyone resist You? indeed, Your Spirit fills the whole world; Unique, Irresistible, Almighty, and more! be My appeasing Fragrance, Vassula, sweet is the melody of your praises to Me, a balm in My Wounds, like a lily by a freshet of water, like a sprig of frankincense, privileged one of My Father, receive My Blessings; do not ever desert me, so that I continue to praise Your Holy Name unceasingly in these godless times, help me to uphold the cause of religion, help me in rebuilding the ruins and fragments of the Church; You know that I am helpless without You by my side; I could say much more and still fall short; 1 John 3 : 19-21 exalt Me in your praises, My beloved, until now you have seen only a few of My Works, be docile as I want you to be, put all your heart into your prayers to turn them into music to My Ears; hear Me, the good Works will never be forgotten; praying for mankind is to shed blood; since the world refuses to repent, your prayers for mankind are looked upon as a repentance for the whole world; restore My House, fill it with fruit, even if they treat you harshly, be like a lily, a lily among the thistles, never abandon My Precepts! keep me under Your Wings, Lord! why does man suffer on earth, even those who are innocent? if man suffers on earth, it is because the world lacks love… love is missing… love is the key to My Kingdom, had they followed My Commandments and followed My Word and its teachings, they would not have suffered; the Holy Spirit does not dwell in a crafty soul, but shies away from that soul; if souls are puffed up with pride how do you expect that the Holy Spirit finds His dwelling in these souls? men fall because of their pride, for grace forsakes them, but anyone who strives to find the Truth, will find Me; have I not said in Scriptures, ‘ask and it will be given to you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you? for the one who asks always receives; the one who searches always finds; the one who knocks will always have the door opened to him!’2 2 Mt 7 : 7-8
