4362 Original state.... fall.... love.... perfection.... will....

July 4, 1948: Book 51

You fulfil My incessant striving for your love if you let the flame of love flare up within you and express it in active neighbourly love. Then you join Me, then you are Mine, because you have now adjusted your nature to My original nature again, from which you emerged. For you are the product of My love, and what gives birth to love can only ever be love again. Yet as a freely placed being with free will you were also able to change and invert your nature, otherwise you would have been imperfect creatures if you had to remain in the state in which I created you. For this is the sign of the perfect, that it is full of power and strength in possession of free will. How it now uses the will as well as the power is left to the being itself. The fact that the use was now contrary to My will only earned the being itself the withdrawal of strength and free will, because as a divine creature it could not remain imperfect but was offered an opportunity by My never-ending love to change again into perfection. If it now wants to reach this original state again, it must become again what it was.... Love.... And thus the feeling of love can never be something contradictory to My will, just like all actions which are carried out on the basis of this feeling. Love is what stamps the human being into a God-like being, love is also the bearer of strength, and the being will be powerful again if it has shaped itself into love. Love wants to be active, it wants to create and build up, and love will never want to destroy or take anything away, therefore the being's original state was bliss in its fullest measure.... The fact that the being created by Me was able to fall even though it was endowed with the richest power of realization can be explained by the fact that the love for Me and self-love were equally inherent in the being, because the free decision was necessary, for the being was created perfect and first had to prove itself through a test by striving for perfection itself. Thus it had to be able to fall into the abyss, just as it was able to assert itself in the height through wrong or right use of its will and its strength.... The beingness, which is embodied as a human being or in the creations of earth, failed.... and its love became a wrong love.... self-love prevailed and the being fell. For this reason love must be correctly directed, it must be meant for Me and express itself again as strength, the being in the stage of free will must use the vitality at its disposal in giving, constructive activity, in unselfish neighbourly love, and this is the purpose and aim of earthly life, that the human being shapes himself into love in order to accept his original being again and become partaker of eternal bliss. Therefore, don't suffocate the little flame of love if it flares up in you, nourish it and let it become a bright flame which spills over into eternal love, which makes you perfect beings, which you have been since the beginning....

Amen
