3763 Every event is based on God's love....

April 7, 1946: Book 47

He, Who is Love in Himself, cannot want or cause anything that is detrimental to one of His living creations.... but everything He does or allows to happen serves the upward development of that which is still distant from Him as a result of self-inflicted imperfection. Nothing happens arbitrarily but everything is determined since eternity, it is provided for in His eternal plan of Salvation in realisation of its effectiveness. Yet the more the upward development, which can be achieved in a certain time, lags behind, the more painfully perceptible are the means God uses in order to lead the imperfect to perfection, and therefore such means are not recognised as God's love, although only the greater than great love of the One Who created everything is the reason for it. Yet He always tries to convince His living creations of His love, He tries to inform them of His plan of Salvation and therefore instructs them directly through His Word so that they shall not remain in complete spiritual darkness and allow God's activity and reign to pass them by without making any impression.... He informs people of it so that they learn to recognise Him in His love and learn to love Him.... His Word provides information about what the human being needs to know in order to strive towards God, to fulfil His will and, by fulfilling his earthly task, to shape his soul into love.... in order to successfully cover the path of upward development.... Thus God does not leave His living creations without knowledge about their imperfect state, about their relationship with Him, and about the purpose and goal of their earthly life. And it is up to each individual being how it utilises its knowledge, how it attunes itself to His Word, which is conveyed to it time and again.... For His love is greater than great and it will never rest until the spiritual being has found its way back to the Father of eternity from Whom it once originated. What has emerged from God forever remains a part of Him, yet it must be perfect in order to be able to exist next to Him as a blissful being.... If it makes itself imperfect, then it distances itself from Him and its state is miserable. God's love and mercy, however, helps the wretched one and tries to lead him back to bliss, and His wisdom truly recognises the right and most effective means of recovery and His love applies them.... And He will never do anything which would hinder the recovery of the spiritual. And everything that happens in the whole universe is based on God's grand love, and if people recognise this then everything that happens on earth is also understandable to them, for everything only serves the redemption of that which became unfree through its own fault....

Amen
