3539 Grace....

September 6, 1945: Book 45

God's love and grace is inexhaustible and therefore nothing can get lost, for God is always willing to help what has gone astray to find its way back to Him. The help that the lost receives undeservedly is grace, and this is available to people without measure because God's love wants to win them for eternity. As long as the human being lives on earth he can make use of the treasure of grace, it will never ever be denied to him but will be at his disposal more abundantly the more it is desired. Divine love is always willing to give, and thus it also distributes grace without restriction, and anyone who now avails himself of His grace is saved from eternal ruin, he has found the path which leads to God, he has accepted God's help and can now no longer go astray. Every person is allowed to desire God's love and grace, it will flow to him and he only needs to use it and it will take effect in him. Thus the human being's will only has to be willing to open his heart for the influx of love and grace.... he must want to receive in order to be abundantly provided for by God. And therefore he must pray for an influx of grace.... By doing so he demonstrates to God his will to let Him help him, he weakly and humbly approaches Him in prayer and will truly not go away empty-handed, for his prayer for an influx of grace will always be granted because it concerns spiritual well-being and is always granted. Anyone who asks for grace recognizes his inadequacy and wants to remedy it with God's help. He is not arrogant in spirit but humble in heart, and to the humble God gives His grace. All that feels weak is strengthened by God, and this is grace.... What is helpless will find help from God because His love leans towards the weak, the helpless and He assists it. It is a gift bestowed upon the human being because he has fallen into a state of weakness through his own fault and God wants to help him rise from it. But because it is a gift from God the grace must also be consciously requested, the giver of the gift of grace must be approached so that His love will give the human being what he needs in order to ascend again. The lost person should find his way back to God again, and he cannot do this on his own. Therefore God's love has mercy and opens the source of grace, it distributes unmeasured.... It provides the human being with all means of help which enable his return to God, and this is grace. Everything that helps man to ascend is grace.... And His love will never end and again and again bestow grace upon the human being until he has reached his final aim, until the return to God has taken place, which is the human being's first and final aim on earth....

Amen
