2312 Times of need - times of grace....

April 24, 1942: Book 32

Times of adversity are also times of grace, for God in His love constantly endeavours to bring salvation to people and uses all means to make Himself known to them so that they will find Him and be saved from death and ruin........ every suffering is a mercy because it is a means God uses to change people's thinking. God knocks on people's hearts, He brings Himself close to them and waits for them to call upon Him, to let Him into their hearts so that He can then continue to work with His grace and love. For God's love never ceases, it is not limited like human love, it is without end and is eternally only for His living creations, which are of Him and shall return to Him for their own happiness. The fact that people do not recognize this love is only the result of their state of being far from God, which blinds them to the divine. God takes this state into account and considers people accordingly, but He never leaves them without help, and everything He sends over them in order to lead them towards Himself are favours offered to them by His love in order to win them back forever. And as long as the human being has not become completely hardened and loveless, these favours are not ineffective either. But they must always leave the human being's free will untouched, i.e., all coercion must be eliminated, the human being must be free to want to let the grace have an effect on him, his will must not be determined in any way to lead a different way of life, otherwise the being would be unfree and this would eliminate the soul's higher development. And this is why suffering is tremendously beneficial, because it often causes the human being to turn to God of his own accord and thus utilize a grace which God's love offers him....

Amen
