5349 God's merciful love goes after the lost....

April 1, 1952: Book 59

My love and mercy know no bounds, and My mercy turns to the weak, the sick and the brooding; in infinite patience I pursue those who distance themselves from Me, and full of long-suffering I bear their sins and try to persuade them to repent; I try to heal the sickness of their souls, and I use all means to win the love of those who still offer Me harsh resistance, who do not yet feel love for Me. For I do not leave My creations even if they voluntarily separate themselves from Me, I constantly remain the father to them Who wants to save His children from eternal ruin. I go after them.... And this is why My working on people is so obvious and will be even more obvious towards the end of this earth, because the danger will become ever greater that people will lose themselves to the one who is My adversary and who wants to plunge them into ruin. People blindly walk into their ruin because they don't listen to the messengers I send their way, they ignore My divine words of love and only have eyes and ears for the world through which My adversary entices and seduces people. But My calls of admonition and warning will sound ever more urgently, and none of the apostates will be able to ignore them, for they sound mightily and testify to Me and My power.... What no human being is able to recognize as love on My part anymore is still love from Me, because I want to win people before it is too late.... All will indeed be Mine one day, even if it still takes an infinite amount of time; but I don't want them to suffer more than is necessary for their ascent. They have already travelled a long path which was full of torment and suffering, and only a short stretch of the path is still missing until they reach Me.... but if they now turn back before the end, then there is a danger that they will have to travel the infinitely long path again and that unspeakable suffering will be their fate once more. But I don't want them to suffer more than is necessary.... Yet I leave people free will. But My voice will sound until the end, and if it is not heard, since it sounds tenderly and softly, then I will speak with a voice of thunder and have to be listened to. But even then the human being is not yet forced to obey My voice.... For this reason I do not speak from the clouds in order to prove My being but I speak through the elements of nature which everyone can certainly recognize as My voice if he wants to but which he can also reject as a natural occurrence which only worries people but does not give rise to a change of will. Yet My love will not rest until I see My aim fulfilled, until all My living creations have found their way back to Me, until they long for My love themselves and I am now their fulfilment.... My love will also reach it in a shorter or longer time, as the human being himself uses his will....

Amen
