2906 God's love and mercy is eternal for His creatures....

October 2, 1943: Book 37

God's love and mercy will not let any being fall, no matter how badly it has transgressed against His love, for it is His product, His creature, which emerged from Him. divine works are indestructible, therefore imperishable, but changeable in themselves insofar as that the will of the being determines its nature, but the will is not prevented by the original freedom to develop upwards or downwards. Consequently, the nature can likewise change from the divine image into the opposite, i.e. it can take on the nature of the one who was once God's most glorious creature and separated himself from Him and thus deprived himself of all perfection. The being is therefore still the same, but deficient in the divine gifts it once possessed.... It is imperfect and has thus become similar to God's adversary. Nevertheless, it remains a divine creature which is never ever expelled from His love but constantly remains in God's care, even if it does not recognize or want to acknowledge it. God's goal is always and forever to lead the imperfect back to perfection, to cause it to change itself, even if eternities pass over it. For since the being created by God can never ever cease to exist, it is always and constantly given the opportunity for this transformation because God's love and mercy does not want to leave it in its imperfect state, which is also a state of poverty and lack of freedom and therefore can never make the being happy. God's love, however, wants to make everything that has emerged from It blissful; It wants it to be able to be creatively and formatively active according to its own will which, however, if the being is perfect, completely joins the divine will; and It wants the being to be placed into a blissful state as a result and to be able to enjoy the delights of the eternal contemplation of God.... Yet in its state of imperfection the being does not acknowledge God's love and does not submit to His will. It resists Him and often remains in its state of imperfection for eternities. And yet it has to give up its resistance in complete freedom of will, it has to change itself and cannot be changed by God's will, i.e. it cannot attain perfection in a state of compulsion. And this is why God, in His love and mercy, tries to influence the being such that it becomes soft and compliant. And He uses means which seem to question His love but which are only determined by His love because they promise success, namely to bring about the human being's gradual transformation. And if the being is particularly stubborn and does not give up its resistance even by such means, His love is always intent on its redemption and His wisdom finds new ways to achieve the being's transformation.... He lets a new earth arise, with more difficult living conditions, and He continues to woo the love of beings who want to refuse Him.... He is only anxious to carry out a continued purification, to achieve an upward development of the beingness and to reduce the gap between Himself and His living creations, for His love belongs to His living creations always and forever. If God apparently withdraws from His living creations then this is only a means to win them over for Himself because He wants to let them recognize their lack of strength and thereby wants to cause them to seek contact with the original source of strength as powerless beings. For this is already an abandonment of resistance, it is already a conscious striving upwards, it is an activation of the will, the beginning of the upward development. And God constantly tries to change this will, i.e. to turn him, who has turned away from Him, towards Himself again. And His love, His mercy and patience will never cease, He will always and constantly woo the love of His living creations, He will use every means which can lead to success, and indeed the more effective the more resistant it is to God. And thus, through its resistance, through its conduct towards God, the being itself determines the means and ways God uses in order to break its resistance, yet they are only ever evidence of His love and mercy, for He thereby only aims to finally regain that which once apostatized from Him because He wants to make it eternally happy....
