2865 God directs the will, intention and accomplishment of those who voluntarily surrender to Him....

August 30, 1943: Book 37

Where divine will expresses itself, human will is unable to assert itself as soon as it is directed against it. God knows whose will submits itself to Him and He will only call upon such a person who turns to Him for a task, that is, He will obviously express Himself through him. But then there is also no longer any serious resistance to be feared which could be directed against the divine will. The human being's will is free, God does not force him at all, yet God's grace flows through such a person who is turned towards Him, it strengthens his will and also enables him to recognize God's great love, and the more joyfully the human being's will now strives towards God. And now God can take possession of the human being's will without infringing on his freedom, for the human being has given himself to Him. If a weakness of will now occurs, God nevertheless prevents the complete relapse because the human being himself has given Him the right to do so through his voluntary surrender, for thereby God regards him as His property, which He will no longer allow to be disputed. A person who was once permeated by God's strength, through whom God Himself worked because he gave himself to Him, has become a bearer of strength and will never again lose this strength, it can only become less apparent to him because the world tries to turn his will away from God and he does not offer enough resistance. But God will never let the human being fall victim to the world. The power from God, which has expressed itself through him, protects him from this, for man no longer wants to do without it, and he is much more likely to give up the world if he is faced with the choice. For God continues to work in him and also gives him the right knowledge when he is in danger. And then willing and accomplishing is the working of God, then God also directs the will of man, He no longer lets him fall back into the wrong will. But the first surrender to God must have taken place through the human being's will itself, otherwise God cannot take possession of him, otherwise He cannot express Himself, thus God's strength cannot obviously flow over to him. And therefore the human being can be unconcerned, for God's love protects him from complete apostasy.... God's love does not let the human being who is in danger of becoming weak perish but He gives him new strength, He obviously works and directs the will towards Himself because He knows that the human being is grateful to Him, who has already given himself to Him of his own free will....

amen
