4646 God's will - guideline of life....

May 20, 1949: Book 53

Anyone who does not take My word as a guideline for his life will not take the right path, for then he will go against My will and not observe My commandments which My word informs them of. If you want to follow My will I have to inform you of it in a certain way, and I will also make sure that the knowledge of it is made accessible to you, yet it depends on your will whether you accept or reject it. Every word of Mine shall serve you as a guideline, and it is truly not difficult to live in accordance with My will, for My yoke is gentle and My burden is light.... I do not ask you to do anything that is unworkable, yet there is an obstacle which makes even the easy to do seem difficult.... your will, which must completely submit to Mine. And if your will has not yet entered Mine you will have to use force.... then you will seize the kingdom of heaven. Then you will have to wage an inner battle in order to change your will, which is still turned away from Me, into one which is completely subordinate to Me, and then it will be easy for you to do everything I tell you to do through My word. I cannot deviate from My conditions for attaining maturity of soul, yet I make them easy for you and give you strength to fulfil them. Yet you must take notice of them and not inwardly resist My requirements, you must make My commandments your own intention, of your own free will you must make an effort to live in love, and thus all commandments I give you for the time of your earthly life are also fulfilled. Your way of life must be based on My word; that is all I require of you, but it requires knowledge of My word, it requires an inner life in which you deal with spiritual questions, where you have to take a stand with what I require. Therefore, if you want to reach the aim you cannot live thoughtlessly into the day, you have to think about your purpose of earthly life and your task and criticize yourselves as to how far you fulfil the task of life set for you. And then you will always have to keep My word before your eyes for comparison, for My word gives you all guidelines and will always show you the right path.... the path which leads to the aim, to unification with Me, your God and father of eternity....

Amen
