“You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

“My daughter, you must know that, in each thing that the creature does, We give the act of life that comes out of Us. If she thinks, We give her the life of the thought of Our intelligence; if she speaks, We give her, in her voice, the life of Our word; if she operates, the life of Our works runs within hers; if she walks, We give the life of Our steps in hers.
See, it is two acts of life that must run in each act of the creature: first, the act of divine life, and, immediately, her act. Now, if in all the things that she does, she does them out of love for the One who gives her life, an exchange of life is formed: life We give, and life We receive. And although there is great difference between the acts of Our life and those of the creature, yet We remain glorified and satisfied, because that is what she can give Us, and that is what she gives Us.
More so, since all the acts done by her to give Us the exchange of life remain, not outside of Us, but inside of Us, as attestations of perennial life of the creature. We feel the exchange of her life with the life that We have given to her in Our Divine Being; Our Will and Our Love bring Us the sweet murmuring of the life of her thoughts in Our intelligence, the gentle murmuring of her word in Our voice; her works murmur sweetly in Our works, and the treading of her steps, as they walk, murmur “love‟ and “attestations of life to my Creator‟.”
And We, in Our emphasis of love, say: “Who is it that murmurs in Our Divine Being with the life of her acts? One who is in Our Will and operates out of pure love for Us.‟
But what is not Our sorrow when We give life to the acts of the creature and We receive nothing! These acts of hers remain outside of Us and as though dispersed, because the current of Our Will and of Our Love is missing, which would bring them to Us; and these acts, the majority of them, carry the seal of the offense to the One who gave them life.
Oh! if creatures comprehended with clarity what it means to do their will, they would die of pain in comprehending the great evil into which they hurl themselves, and the great good that they lose by not doing Our Divine Will.
Be attentive, my daughter, if you do not want to lose the eyes of the soul – which are my Will. Once these are lost, you yourself will not comprehend your highest misfortune, just as many other creatures do not comprehend it, who gamble away the Divine Will to do their own – but to do what? To render themselves unhappy.”
