SDD 624 - Alice: Today, Lord, I considered the fact that You came to the Apostles on the water and that Peter was drowning because he doubted.
JESUS: He did not so much doubt as turn his gaze away from Me, and his hearing was not attentive to Me either, since the sound of the storm reached him.
You see, My child, he was not sufficiently focused and attentive to Me, because he loved Me too little. Love causes the concentration of all attention and adherence with all one's heart, so that nothing from the outside reaches, so that one sees and hears nothing but one's beloved. The trembling of love of the heart closes the entire external world and opens the entire spiritual world, where the soul meets its bridegroom and is immersed in Him. In such a state, Satan is completely powerless, because his efforts to distract, frighten and he himself are simply unnoticed. Such a state of soul ensures complete freedom - nothing that is not Me has access to your joy of union with Me.

Alice: What to do to be able to love like that?
JESUS: Fulfill My will and remain with Me. Fulfill your will in the smallest things, remain with Me stubbornly, even in the face of external adversities, and desire My Love.
All this is contained in the virtues: faith, hope and love.
Surrender your heart with trust, and I will fill it with pure love. And be patient and always ready to receive your Bridegroom. I like to come unexpectedly. Watch with the hope of meeting.
