Testimony from Santiago

The following testimony is a recent one from a lady in Santiago, Chile.

I am writing this because a friend happened to lend me a copy of True Life in God, by Vassula Ryden. I have now read the forth volume and you can’t imagine the effect which these messages have had on me. In the beginning I could read no more than two pages at a time. The messages effected me deeply. I cried buckets of tears and it felt like my entire self was being cleansed in the convulsions which accompanied the tears. I felt that the messages were written especially for me. For a while I thought I might be crazy but I soon realized this was not so.

I realized that our Lord is Master of all and that He is very special. I came to know that my life is in His hands at every moment and that I belong to Him because I am His creation. In addition to this I learned to be thankful to Him for giving me the opportunity to have a large family even though I have had to go through many difficulties because of this. The messages made me realize that I owe my daily existence to Him.

I have come to realize just how full of Mercy is our merciful God. He has patiently waited a long time for us to change and return to Him. I have come to know that true love calls us to be close to Him and to live in Him.

I have come to realize how much time we waste on trivial things and that we must leave these things and dedicate ourselves to living in LOVE. The fruits of our work have produced a world without Light, without Love. We have created a world where there are wars, famines and death for the young, the old and the unborn. We have contaminated our seas and rivers. The more advanced countries exploit the weak and much money is wasted on armaments. Our technology is used for profit rather than to benefit others. We have not taken care of the earth which our Father has given us. One only need to look to see that this is true.

My soul wants to hide in terror at seeing how we are destroying ourselves internally. Our slogan is “Might makes Right” and through it we depart from the path which our God, our ABBA who pleads for our love. Like a beggar He knocks on our doors at every moment, day and night, looking for our love. He also love us as a Father since we are His little children – frail nothings – but most of us turn our backs on He who gives us all His love each and every day.

I hope, I firmly believe in this God of Love. I know that we will only
return to Him through love because it is LOVE who is calling us. This
year, 2000, is a year of Grace. A year for conversion and spiritual
renewal. It is a year to be faithful to His LOVE. We must remember
that when we are weighed down with temptations all we have to do is ask

for His protection. He will not refuse His help because He is our Father. We must be faithful to Him forever.
