1392 Grace of embodiment as a human being....

April 25, 1940: Book 23

The embodiment of beings is a grace and of such tremendous significance and yet it is far too little regocnized as such. And precisely this ignorance is the reason that the time of embodiment is not utilized properly in the final stage, when the human being is given reason and intellect in order to reflect on it and thus to benefit from correct thinking. It is not the being's own merit to have reached that degree of maturity which now allows embodiment as a human being. Rather, this degree of maturity is also a gift of grace from the divine creator, Whose love for His living creations wants to draw them back to Himself. It is this greater than great love that allowed the work of creation to come into being, precisely because of the many beings that can develop to a certain level through creation. However, this would not be possible without divine help, thus God bestows all His love upon the being by enabling it to develop to the highest level of maturity and allowing the being to embody itself as a human being for this purpose in order to receive and utilize all means and benefits from the eternal deity. God gives man unlimitedly everything that helps him to ascend.... As a human being the being can receive all help, thus the divine gift of grace will never cease or be given to the being to a limited extent as long as it remains on earth. Although the being was already cared for by God's love before the time of embodiment as a human being, it had neither reason nor intellect in order to be able to regocnize divine love, whereas the human being is able to regocnize God's infinite love through God's grace and therefore also grasps the obvious grace which is bestowed upon the being through embodiment. Although it is not possible for people on earth to grasp God's love in all its depth, the fact that man is able to think at all is one of the lord's greatest proofs of love. For even thinking is a sign of divine power.... If the being is able to think it can enter into contact with its creator, and if it strives for this connection, thus makes contact with the highest being, it can already shape itself into the highest being of light on earth. God Himself therefore gives it the opportunity to shape itself according to His will. And this is a gift of grace of unprecedented significance, that God offers the being the highest.... the opportunity to become a child of God.... And that He gives him all means to do so, that is, that He bestows favours upon the being again and again just in order to win it back and to be able to call it His child for eternal times. He even goes so far in His love that He also offers the favours to those who do not consciously desire them by commissioning His messengers to bring light even though it is not desired.... This grace cannot be measured, for He imparts something to people which requires the greatest desire.... He instructs His messengers to awaken this desire in people and obviously works to bring knowledge of His infinite love to the ignorant.... And this work is grace.... grace that comes to all those who use their intellect and reason to want to fathom their purpose of existence. God is close to them with His grace so that the embodiment as a human being will bring them final redemption.... so that the embodiment on earth leads to the final goal, to complete liberation from the form....

Amen
