Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8)
Volume 4-December 27, 1900
God Is Not Subject To Changing, While The Devil And The Human Nature Change Very Often
This morning I was with a fear about my state, that it was not the Lord who operated in me; with the addition that He was not deigning to come. Then, after much waiting, I saw Him for just a little; I expressed my fear to Him, and He said to me: “My daughter, first of all, in order to put you in this state there is a concourse of my power; and besides, who would have given you the strength and the patience to remain in this state, in a bed, for such a long time? Perseverance alone is a sure sign that the work is mine, because God alone is not subject to changing, while the devil and the human nature change so very often – what they love today, they abhor tomorrow, and what they abhor today, they love tomorrow and find in it their satisfaction.
