2102 Strength and power of love.... perfection....

October 8, 1941: Book 30

Love is the greatest miracle.... it is power and effect at the same time.... it is a power that rules everything and serves at the same time.... it is the antithesis of hatred and unkindness, just as God as love Himself is the antithesis of those who harbour hatred against Him. Love is the origin of all life, and there is nothing that love has not produced. Even the antithesis of God was created out of divine love, but as a highly perfect being that allowed itself to become imperfection through its will. Since God is eternal love, everything that comes from Him must also be good, because love can never give birth to anything bad. Thus everything good emerged from God. But love also did not allow anything unfree to come into being, because unfree is something imperfect and can therefore never be of divine origin. Where God's love is active, only the most perfect things emerge. But what is imperfect does not have love as its origin, or it has been pushed into a degree of imperfection through unkindness. The degree of love therefore determines the degree of perfection, i.e. the lack of love will always result in imperfection.... be it on earth or in the beyond, the law of love remains irrevocable everywhere, all creations are subject to it. The state of the being also depends on this law, and life or death also depends on the degree of love. Love should be inherent in everything that has emerged from eternal love, then it will rule and serve at the same time, it will be able to create and shape again by virtue of its love and find unimaginable happiness in it.... But as soon as unkindness and hatred supplant love, something imperfect emerges from the will of the creator, which is neither happiness-giving nor happiness-inducing. And it will be of an arrogant spirit, it will again harbour hatred and unkindness. But love is powerful and its effect unimaginable. It takes up the battle with unkindness, it gives incessantly and thus seeks to win over that which is unkind in itself, it seeks to transform it into love and bring it back to a state of perfection. It does not stand idly by and watch the destructive effects of unkindness, but instead uses its strength to counteract it and build.... And love is the strongest power.... it overcomes everything and ultimately also leads that which has arisen from unkindness back to love, i.e. to God....

Amen
