The ones who experience the benefits of having Jesus close to themselves.


Continuing in my usual state, blessed Jesus came and told me: "My daughter, I am inside and outside the souls; but who experiences the effects of this? The one who approaches my Will with his will; the one who calls Me, who prays, and knows my power and the good I can do for him. Otherwise, it happens as to that man who has water in his home, but doesn’t go to it to take a drink. Even if there is water, he does not enjoy the benefit of it and burns with thirst. In the same way, if he is cold, he does not approach the fire to get warm; although the fire is there, he will not enjoy the benefit of its heat; and so on with all the rest. What is not my sorrow in wanting to give, while there is nobody to take my benefits!"
