- Yesterday I made a mistake...
+You were forgiven because you repented.
- Why did I do it?
+So that you control your impulses in your statements more and do not show off your brilliance.
Not everything that a man knows and can, should immediately demonstrate to others. It can embarrass and close someone, or even cause a complex, or offend.
Excessive brilliance and showing off of some is the cause of excessive inhibition and timidity of others.
- Whose tendency do I have to show off, or is it the latter?
+And one and the other, depending on the environment.
Sometimes you want to dominate those you can.
Shyness seizes you in front of those who are stronger than you in this regard.
+The motive for this attitude is excessive self-love. Once to renew it, another time to avoid embarrassment.
You are being overly sensitive in this regard.
- What to do to change it?
+Don't think about yourself and care less about what others think of you. What I think about you is important. And I know everything anyway, no matter what your advantage or disadvantage your surroundings noticed at a given moment.
So be quite natural and open.
The motive for dealing with people should be love for them - or at least kindness. Recognition of their sensitivity and possibilities.
So kindness should be followed by patience, gentleness, understanding, and helpfulness.
- Do I miss a lot?
+Compared to others, maybe not much. But such comparisons should not be made. You shouldn't judge yourself by comparing yourself to others.
The point of reference - the right one - are My gifts that I have placed in you and the opportunities that I am creating for you.
Reflect on this and examine how you use it all to serve others; to shape your attitude towards people, towards yourself, towards Me.
I have given you the unique gift of talking to Me. You can ask about anything, give advice.
To what extent do you use it to build good in yourself and in others?
- I don't know. But I feel guilty...
+Replace it with service to others at every opportunity. To recognize their needs and provide assistance.

+I want you to return to My home with your hands full and a sense of duty done. Such a return is only a happy return.
Then you will gladly and without shame sit down at the table with Me to enjoy what I have prepared.
Do you know, how those who come empty-handed and aware that My gifts have been wasted and their chance, feel?
It is not worth, neither at the price of laziness in the area of action between people, nor at the price of laziness and spiritual comfort.
For great values one has to pay a great price of effort, perseverance and suffering...
You want all this, but your desire is weak, it disappears at times.
Do you know what great graces are given to those who can desire? Who turn all their energy and spiritual strength into desire?
They are able to really move a mountain - a mountain of evil that is growing among people.
You ask too seldom - for yourself, for others.
I am with you and I am waiting for your requests. I am your Father, Friend, your Spouse.
Have the courage to come with everything. You know, how I care for you, even in the little things.
Do not worry that you are of little use to others and to Me. That's not true. You do what I tell you to do, fine. Accept and complete the task given to you on a regular basis. And don't think that you don't know, what tasks you will get tomorrow. You will have them. They will consume your time, your energy, the resources you have received. And do not worry that what you have, is not yet used. Will be. Be thrifty and prudent so as not to waste anything. It's not yours, though you have it.
You know about it. Be ready and wait.
- How to improve the gift of prophecy?
+Talk to Me as often as possible about your own and other people's matters.
mediate, transmit.
Don't hide it. Just use for the benefit of others and yourself as you use many things at your disposal.

- It's hard for me to focus deeply when there are many external activities, stimuli...
This double layer of my life still exists.
Man is a social being and somehow one has to navigate these outer layers...
+Yes, but with full awareness of what you called an inner layer. That is, your real life with Me and in Me.
That's your right place right now. This is what you've been longing for all your life.
And because I created you to be inwardly with Me, you did not want and could not fit into the world.
It was not and is not solitude. It is a desire to be with Me and a real, real abiding. Formerly unconscious, and now partially known.
Every attempt to live by what the world gives ended in failure, until you understood that everything here is tainted with the stain of sin.
+You are needed by My other poor children. We have to help them, we have to save them. You know what will happen. The help of each of My chosen children is and will be very valuable.
Do not regret your suffering of living here - it must be sacrificed to help others regain their lives there.
Must I remind you of the example of My life here?
Every human life is called to the same thing. That's the full value of it. And full happiness - which is the satisfaction of desires - comes from doing with your life what I have done.
Know the value and you'll be fine. You will be glad that it is so, that you can contribute to the building of My Kingdom. Trust and rejoice. I'm with you.

- My Father, how can You endure my misery and stupidity? So many unnecessary words, also about myself.
I want to remove vanity and pride from myself, and they constantly show themselves in various situations.
Please, strip me of anything that is not the measure of a child of God.
+I'm still teaching you, but you're a dull student - like all of you. The sinfulness of generations resides in every cell of the human body. It will decrease when you always remember it.
This applies to every human being. There are no better or worse.
Everyone here will suffer from their sinfulness and stupidity for the rest of their lives.
The more clearly he sees them and the more he suffers from them, the greater will be his holiness.
However, it shouldn't be a selfish preoccupation with yourself. It should be imbued with the desire to become like Me and fulfill My will in the service of others - to save human souls.
The more you care for others, the more you will perfect yourself, for the more you will receive from Me.
I only give to those who use My gifts to serve others.
- Thank you for yesterday. For all the experiences that have been.
For the humiliations caused by my own stupidity.
+You see it more clearly because I have given you the gift of My wisdom. It shows you your human vices and smallness.
For in you resides My wisdom and your folly. Strive to let wisdom prevail over stupidity. Control yourself: your thoughts, words, deeds. Remove selfishness and jealousy - these are low qualities, derogatory to the dignity of a child of God.
You don't have to add anything to yourself and envy anything to others. You receive from Me everything you need: My gifts and My Love.
The tasks I have assigned to you, are also My gift. By fulfilling them, you will truly be My child. You will confirm this with your will and effort.
Be a good child - obedient and devoted.
- Is my relationship with people right?
+Generally yes. However, you are prone to uncontrollable reactions. Then you feel ashamed and regret that you have caused pain or exposed your smallness.
Try to be more calm and focused internally. Remain in Me, even when you are among people.
There shouldn't be such a big difference between prayerful concentration and the banality of everyday situations, conversations, behaviors.
There is no need to assume a pose, or to force yourself to be serious, to behave in any artificial way.
You must feel My closeness, always be aware of My presence.
My eye watches over everything and My sight penetrates everything. Not only sight. Also My Love. Everything happens in it.
So be trusting and cheerful and joyful.
Don't be gloomy, suspicious and spiteful.
Show love and kindness to people - through it they will see Me in you.
I want to be visible in you. Strive to keep My image in you pure and true, and ever clearer.
I am indeed in you. Remember it and reveal it.
Ps 138:6-7a
The Lord is truly exalted and looks kindly on the humble, but He sees the proud from afar!
When I walk in affliction, You give me life...
