2833 God's demands on man.... power supply....

August 1, 1943: Book 37

The demands that God makes of man during his life on earth can be fulfilled very easily, and none of them are beyond the power of man. God does not demand anything impossible or difficult to fulfill from him. It only appears unfulfillable to him when he no longer acknowledges God or is distant from Him through his way of life. For then this way of life is precisely contrary to the divine requirements. Therefore, only the right relationship with God needs to be established in order to be in possession of the strength that allows him to carry out his task in life.... to fulfill the divine requirements, the commandments of love for Him and for his neighbour. Everything the human being accomplishes is an expression of divine strength which will always flow to him as soon as he needs it and, by acknowledging God, opens himself to this flow of strength. If he now performs works of love then God Himself is, as it were, active in him, i.e. His spirit impels him to carry out every activity, and the human being will never be without strength if he gives in to this inner urge. The inner urge of a person who strives to fulfill God's will is such an expression of the spirit, and this inner urge should therefore always be complied with.... Then he will always fulfill God's requirements, because what the spirit in him wants is the will of God, thus His language. The more willing a person is, the more likely he is to comply with this requirement and he will never feel that it is too high or impossible to carry out. For as soon as he carries out a deed of love the strength to carry it out further will already flow to him, he will act as a matter of course, he will neither feel forced to do it nor feel that it is an oppressive burden, his way of life will completely correspond to God's will and therefore his life will also bring him the success which is the purpose and goal of his embodiment on earth. God knows about all His creatures, He also knows about their weakness of will, their lack of strength and their weak power of resistance.... therefore He makes His demands according to all these deficiencies, and He is always ready with His strength to let them overflow as soon as the human being has the will to accept them. All He requires is that the human being changes his will, that he gives his free will to Him.... then all means and powers will be at his disposal, then he will always be able to accomplish what God requires of him. Weakness no longer exists from the moment the human being requests God's assistance; the human being is strong as soon as he turns to God in his weakness, even if he still often feels weak, this is only a means which God uses in order to make him ask all the more sincerely and desiringly, because the strength from God can only become effective where it is desired from the bottom of the heart. The human being must not become indifferent, he must remain aware of his task on earth and constantly entrust himself to God so that he can always meet God's requirements, which only consist of demonstrating love for God through active love for his neighbor....
