Divine Providence #119
Topics covered:
- (6) The Lord then purifies the person of the lusts for evil in his internal self and of the evils themselves in his external self

- The Lord continually urges and presses a person to open the door to Him (“Behold, I stand at the door and knock”)
From Chapter 5: “It is a Law of Divine Providence That a Person Put Away as If of Himself Evils as Sins in His External Self, and That the Lord Be Able Only Then to Put Away Evils in His Internal Self and at the Same Time in His External One”
