4397 Destiny according to the will....
August 6, 1948: Book 51
He Who gave you life also knows your will and shapes your life according to this will. Hence you only have to expect your fate according to your will, which I recognized from eternity, but this does not exclude that you have to answer for this will, for it is free and you are not forced to think, want and act. Therefore, if you are willing to live for My pleasure your life will also give you every opportunity to carry out this will, you will put Me first in every situation and always raise your eyes to Me. And since I have known about this will since eternity your fate is accordingly. Again and again My hand will reach out to you which you need only grasp, you will always feel Me close to you.... Life's fate drives you towards Me and you let yourselves be driven of your own free will, you don't resist, your aim is Me and you will reach this aim. But even if I know about your wrong will from eternity, I will nevertheless not make it unfree during your earthly life. Even now you can use it for or against Me; again and again fate brings you into situations where you could find Me of your own free will, and there is no coercion from any side. But the fact that you turn away from Me of your own accord and direct your eyes to where I am not is not My influence but your inner urge for which you have to answer. Thus I certainly know your direction of will but give you ample opportunity in earthly life to change your will. And if you only make the slightest effort and enter into My will I am willing to support you and strengthen your will. The fact that I know about your wrong direction of will does not justify the assumption that you now have to act in accordance with the wrong will, but just as I have taken away your recollection of the past stages, so I will not allow you to be influenced by Me and My will of the opposite effect.... your will may not be forced in any way, which is why it is even easier for you to live to please Me than it is for your fellow human beings. The circumstances, the situations in life, will always drive you to act correctly. If, on the other hand, your will is stronger, then you will also bear the responsibility for your actions and thoughts; thus you can never claim to have been forced by fate and My will, for I make it particularly easy for you but leave you complete freedom. I know every person's direction of will and treat everyone equally with My love and grace.... But My own who experience the end nevertheless have to enter into My will of their own accord, even though they seemingly have no resistance. They are certainly granted freedom of will but the temptations are extremely strong which they nevertheless withstand because they strive towards Me and have Jesus Christ as their support and giver of strength Who will safely lead them to the aim. Therefore, every individual person can reach his aim, but whether he wants to reach it is up to him, only no-one can claim that he has to act as he does because this is due to fate.... I relax all My laws where I seek to win souls, and every soul can freely decide without any compulsion of will until it enters the spiritual kingdom. But the fact that I know about its decision has nothing to do with the human being's free development.... I certainly help him but I do not determine him, yet he himself determines his degree of maturity and his life in eternity....
Amen
