4824 He who does not leave God, will not be left by Him either....

January 28, 1950: Book 55

Don't leave Me if you don't want to be abandoned by Me, for I don't keep anyone who leaves Me, yet his path is then no longer Mine, it leads away from Me and ends in loneliness. Only he who stays with Me is certain of his aim.... it is eternal life.... But what use is a life on earth if you pass away without Me.... It can certainly offer you earthly pleasures, it can be a life entirely according to your wishes, you can possess everything you desire, yet if you live it without Me then someone else will take My place, then someone will constantly stand by your side who will never let you go and who will push you onto a path which, although it seems extremely appealing to you, will nevertheless lead into darkness. And darkness is your reward if you leave Me.... I certainly love you but I will not keep you if you want to separate yourselves from Me, for what I require of you is only your love, which you should give to Me of your own free will. But then you will truly find deepest reciprocated love and this will also make you happy on earth. But if you separate yourselves from Me it is also your free will and you will not be hindered by Me, even though I know that it is not a blessing for you. True life can only be with Me, true life can only be given to you by My love. Hence, if you live on earth without Me you are in truth dead, you only live an illusory life which My adversary helps you to achieve; he deceives you into believing that you live but in truth you are dead, for I alone am life and I alone can give you life, because I alone distribute the true strength of life which only requires love for Me in order to be received. But anyone who loves Me does not leave Me, and I will not leave him for ever either. Anyone who chooses Me as his companion will truly not lose his strength, for life flows forth from Me and flows to the one who walks with Me because he loves Me....

Amen
