4109 God as a Father, friend and brother seeks to attract love....

August 22, 1947: Book 50

I want to be a loving Father to you, a wise guide and advisor, a faithful friend and brother, I want to give you everything you need on earth both psychologically and physically, I constantly want to care for you and you shall never feel abandoned by Me; I want to stand by your side in every adversity and protect you from all onslaughts by your enemies, be they spiritual or earthly, I want to shower you with an abundance of gifts of grace and you shall always recognise My love which I have felt for you since the very beginning and which will not diminish in all eternity.... Nevertheless, I expect you to entrust yourselves unto Me, to strive towards Me, to love Me like a child loves its father. If this love belongs to Me, then I can take hold of you with My strength of love and completely gain you forever. And I ceaselessly seek to attract this love. This is why I will try to guide you into truth, into recognising Me Myself and My eternal plan of salvation, for you first need to know that you are My living creations and the relationship you have as My living creations with Me, the eternal Creator. You must be aware of the great responsibility towards Me and live accordingly, so that you will find grace before My eyes. Your heart must impel you to do so, only then will I recognise your love and then you will belong to My Own whom I have promised My kingdom, for then you will look for Me and when you have found Me never let go of Me again; you will seek the union with Me and appeal to Me for strength because you recognise Me as your Lord and Creator. And you will humbly approach Me, and you will be as it is pleasing to Me, full of love and truth, portraying your problems to the Father with a childlike quality. And I will grant your prayers, I will fulfil your every request because My love for you manifests itself such that I want to make you happy while you are still on earth and one day in eternity.... Therefore you must listen to My Word, for you learn to recognise Me through My Word as soon as you accept My Word in your heart, think about it and subsequently live as it pleases Me. Then you will love Me as well and see your bliss in being in possession of My love for you. In that case I can come to you Myself, I can make you happy through My presence now and forever.... I can provide you with spiritual gifts depending on your worthiness; I can receive you in My kingdom once you have finished your life on earth, and make you blissfully happy for all eternity....

Amen
