My daughter, one who wants to receive must give.
Giving disposes the creature to receive, and God to give.
Many times also your Jesus has this way: when I want something from the creature, I give. And if I want great sacrifices, I give much, so that, in looking at the much I have given, she will feel ashamed and will not have the courage to deny Me the sacrifice I ask of her.
To give is to almost bind the person who receives. It is to draw his attention, his love. To give is to appreciate. To give is hope. To give is to make the memory of the giver arise in the heart. And how many times people who did not know each other become friends by means of a gift?
Now, in the Divine Order...
the giver is always God.
Who acts as first in sending His Gifts to the creature.
But if she does not move to give something to her Creator, be it even her little love, her gratitude, a little sacrifice—because if We gave, it was because We wanted—no more gifts are sent by Us.
Because by not giving Us anything, she has closed the correspondence and has broken the beautiful friendship that Our Gift was to make arise.
