… But while my mind blundered, my sweetest Jesus made Himself seen, that He was all attentive and listening to my blunders, and all delighted He said to me: “My blessed daughter, if I wanted to keep accounts with the creature, I would never have given her anything, because first, what she can give to Me, everything has been given by Me. Therefore, giving to Me she gives Me nothing other than what is Mine, and so My Love makes Me always set aside the accounts. To keep accounts with the creatures would hinder My Love and make it lose the freedom of letting it give what it wants to give to the creature, and that would be awkward.
“Beyond this, to give you My Divine Will, it is necessary that you give yours, because two wills can not reign inside of one heart, they would war with each other, and yours would be an obstacle to Mine, and therefore It would not be free to do what It wants, and I, in order make Mine free, with so many instances I ask you for yours. But this is not yet everything. You must know that yourwill, being in you, is weak, insignificant, but as it arrives in My Creative Hands, it is transformed, it changes aspect, and I make it powerful, vivified, and I enclose in it the productive value of Good, and I use it in order not to not remain in idleness. And becoming Celestial Gardener, I work in this field of your will, and I make of it a beautiful flowery meadow, and a garden of My Delights.
“So, what in your hands is insignificant, and perhaps even harmful, in Mine changes nature and serves Me to entertain Myself and to have a little bit of earth at My Disposal in order to form the most beautiful flowerings. And then, in order to be able to give, I want the little, the insignificant, almost as pretense in order to be able to give the Great, and so say: ‘She has given to Me, and I have given to her.’ It is true that she has given Me the little, but that is what she had, and stripping herself even of the little for Me, is the greatest gift, and I entrust her to the exuberance of My Love, so that I can make up for what the creature lacks.” …
