0660 Love.... lifestream.... divine power.... liberation....

November 9, 1938: Book 14

Behold, My child, whoever fights for My name will also have to suffer in earthly life, yet you shall easily endure these sufferings because you will then remember Me with firm confidence and find relief and comfort in your love for Me. And anyone who thinks of My suffering on the cross in a difficult hour will have a heart glowing with love and will, as it were, carry the cross with Me.... But he who lacks faith will have to fight much harder against the adversities of life, but these must be imposed on him if he too is to find his way to the heavenly father.... But you, who have found Me, do not fear suffering, for I approach you with great love and this expresses itself in every way, but always for your benefit.... Love knows no bounds, it is always and eternal and can never pass away, it embraces you, My children, and cannot leave you.... And all good is rooted in love, it draws man upwards, it educates and promotes him, it remains unchangingly the same, always the epitome of divine creation, it is the driving force of everything striving upwards, it is longing and fulfilment at the same time.... And without love no being will ever be able to become perfect, love is the stream of life which, emanating from God, gives rise to everything in creation and ensures its continued existence.... And so love can never be switched off, it is divine power and therefore life-giving. Thus, whatever lives must be seized by God's love and can therefore no longer cease to exist, for the divine strength can never experience a decline, it will only become ever stronger and more intense in itself without ever losing this strength. And if you have now become pure love yourselves then you must of necessity also be strength, and this strength will then work like Me and with Me according to My will, for everything that is the emanation of the eternal deity cannot be used up.... Only the human being's firm will is required to accept this strength within himself, that is, to devote himself so devotedly in love that the divine strength, which is pure love in itself, communicates itself to the human being.... And the human being should utilize this strength extensively.... he should only ever love, so that the spiritual power, divine love, also increases in him. He should only ever put love in front of all his actions and thoughts, then he can face any danger that threatens him from the outside, because he then has the strength within himself to be able to command a complete standstill to everything that is undertaken against him from an unloving side. The power of the enemy will be crushed by the superiority of love.... hatred will be defeated by love, and man will become master over all matter only through the fire of divine love, which purifies the soul and thus redeems it from matter.... And everything will become free through love....

Amen
