6490. Unless the Lord's Providence were present in the most specific details, a person could not possibly be saved or even have life, since life comes from the Lord and every moment of life holds a chain of consequences stretching into eternity. Once I was allowed to have a clear perception of the sphere emanating from ultimate purposes, a sphere produced by Providence originating in the Lord.
