DP 202-203
. . . no one can be reformed of himself through his own prudence,
but only by the Lord through His Divine providence.
It follows, therefore,
that unless a person is guided by the Lord every moment,
even every least moment,
he departs from the path of reformation and perishes.
But the Lord foresees how he is guiding himself
and continually makes adjustments.
. . . it is apparent that the Lord's Divine providence is universal
because it operates in the least particulars,
and that this is an infinite and eternal creating . . ..
A person sees nothing of this universal providence,
and if he were to see it,
it would appear to his eyes only as do
scattered heaps and assembled piles of materials to passers-by,
the materials out of which a house is to be built.
But to the Lord
it appears as a magnificent palace
constantly being built and enlarged.
