3577 Sacrifice of the will....

October 14, 1945: Book 45

Pray to Me, and I will be your father.... not only creator and sustainer but also father who cares for you with ardent love, Who also finds His happiness in His children's happiness.... I call you again and again, and so let yourselves be drawn by My love, likewise come to Me with love in your heart, take hold of My fatherly hand and stay with Me from now on, stay close to Him Who can offer you all glories and satisfy your longing, Who can delight you with spiritual gifts and provide you with light and strength in abundance. Come to Me, leave all earthly things behind which stand between Me and you, only bring Me your soul, your will, and let Me take the lead and you will truly be guided correctly. For I lead My children to the aim and never ever let them go. Anyone who has found his way to Me of his own free will, who therefore sacrifices his free will to Me, is My child and deserves My deepest fatherly love and care.... But anyone who sacrifices his will to Me must have detached it from earthly things, he must have overcome all desire for the world, otherwise his will is not yet undividedly meant for Me. Make yourselves My own, then I will take possession of you, and what now belongs to Me will remain Mine forever. But then no bodily worry may weigh down your heart, for your father in heaven will take it upon Himself as I have promised. A loving father does everything for His children, He keeps suffering and worry away from them if only they trust Him unreservedly, take refuge in His arms and expect protection and help from Him. And your father in heaven truly bears the most ardent love for His children in His heart, and His children will be allowed to feel this love in times of hardest earthly adversity.... They will be allowed to hear My voice and their hearts will beat towards Me and completely detach themselves from the world. Strive for this by striving to completely submit your will to Mine, by making yourselves My own so that My fatherly love can embrace you.... Don't pay attention to the hardship and suffering of the world but lift your eyes and hearts to Me, Who is above the earthly world and Who can put a stop to all adversity through His might. Seek to gain My fatherly love by turning all your love towards Me, by merely longing for Me, and I will take care of you forever, for then you will be My true children who are loved by My father, who travel their earthly path under My guidance and therefore also reach the aim....

Amen
