As Scripture says, 'Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen' (Hebrews 11:1).
Seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness first, and all other things will be added to you.
The Lord is near those who call upon Him in truth, and who ask Him for the things that are truly important, such as salvation.
He will fulfill the desires of those who fear Him, and will hear their cries, and will save them.
Because you desired wisdom above all else, and did not ask for victory over your enemies, or riches, or long life, I will give you not only the wisdom you asked for to rule my people righteously, but also the things you did not ask for: riches, wealth, and glory, so that there will be no king like you before or after you.
Learn to be empty of all things, both inwardly and outwardly, and you will realize that I am God.
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them.
I and the Father are one.
I have loved you with an everlasting love, and so I have drawn you to myself with loving kindness.
If I am lifted up on the cross, I will draw all people to myself.
The Holy Spirit said, 'I will also draw with my cords and my net.'
The person who lives in God's will desires nothing but what God is and what God desires.
If someone truly lives in God's will, they find joy in all pain and simplicity in all complexity; even the torments of hell would be a joy to them.
The person who lives in God's love must be detached from themselves and all created things, and consider themselves just one among millions.
May God and Eternal Wisdom grant us the ability to remain as steadfast and unchanged as God Himself. Amen.
Why do you seek outside what is inside you - salvation?
No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them.
I and the Father are one.
If a blind person leads another blind person, they both fall into the pit.
When the soul completely frees itself from everything that goes against God's will and conforms to it, it is transformed in God through love.
