0429 Love....

May 23, 1938: Book 9

Those who love Me are in My grace.... My child, in your heart the embers that have Me at their center, have not yet been kindled.... The fire of love is a very tiny flame for the children on earth, to whom the highest and holiest is still hidden.... for those who have not yet grasped Me in My whole Being. As much as the intimacy with which I draw all who are Mine to My heart is still unknown to you, so also is the power of My love still unknown to you, and when this will expresses itself, heaven and earth will be opened to you, and love will ignite in you with such violence that you would almost believe yourself to have perished....

Such a desire for your Redeemer will befall you that life on earth seems unbearable to you and you no longer demand anything but to be united with Me. And then it is to show itself whether you are able to bring Me a sacrifice.... whether you are content for the time on earth with the consciousness of My love turned towards you and want to be active for Me on earth for the sake of this love when your time has come.... I will not, never ever leave you and am with you always, but you must first acquire on earth that measure which is to bring you the highest reward in eternity.... the sonship of God with all rights handed down from the Father and most indescribable bliss.

If you want to carry this life on earth, I will give you strength through My love.... but you must first recognize who I am, only then will you be able to love Me, as all My children are to love Me.... You, My child on earth, walk in such exceedingly gracious ways, and portals will be opened to you, which will reveal to you much hidden things.... You walk in the light and seek Me daily and hourly.... I will let you find Me, and I will open the sight of Your eyes for you, that they may know Me, that thou may henceforth love Me with all the heat that thy heart is able of.... I must first completely take hold of you....

I must let your desire for Me become ever greater.... only then will I quench your thirst and come to you Myself.... and awaken in you the holiest feeling.... burning, irredeemable love, which lasts until all of eternity. Those who seek Me will find Me.... and those who want to serve Me are not to rule, yet nothing is possible without love, because it alone brings you closer to eternity. So desire only warmly and dearly to know Me, and I will answer your prayer and give you a taste of heaven's bliss, so that you may eternally desire nothing else but to live and die for your Saviour....

Amen
