Divine world - how to become its instrument

08/24/2005

For the Christian who wants to become an instrument of the divine will, there is only one thing to do: follow the teachings of Jesus as found in the Gospels. What he said is simple and clear. Consider these verses alone: ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ Those who work earnestly to put God at the centre of their lives and who learn to conduct themselves with honesty, goodness, and tolerance towards their neighbour can claim that one day they will become instruments of the divine will. Otherwise, they live in illusion. As long as they have not purified themselves, as long as they have not created order in themselves, they will not become instruments of the divine will, but of all the evil entities seeking to penetrate human beings.
