AC 5952
For the Lord does not openly teach any one truths,
but through good leads to the thinking of what is true,
and unknown to the person
He also inspires the perception and consequent choice
that a thing is true because the Word so declares,
and because it accords therewith.
Thus the Lord adapts truths
according to the reception of good by each person;
and as this takes place according to each person's affection,
thus in freedom,
it is here said "as was pleasing."
AC 5957
... when a person is in humiliation
he can receive good from the Lord,
because he has then separated from the love of self and its evils,
which are the obstacle;
and therefore the Lord wills a state of humiliation in a person
for his own sake;
because when he is in this state
the Lord can flow in with heavenly good.
