5410 Submission of the will to God's will....
June 12, 1952: Book 60
The complete submission of your will to Mine also ensures that you humans will reach your goal on earth, the soul's degree of maturity, which guarantees eternal life. For if you are willing to live according to My eternal order you will submit yourselves to My will and from then on you will no longer be adversarial but seek union with Me. But the subordinating of your will to Mine happens in such a way that you recognise Me for the first time as the One Whose will is more powerful, and now you subordinate yourselves in everything to this powerful will, thus you want the same as I want, and now you consciously live with the intention to constantly do what is in divine order, thus what is wanted by Me.... Then you will live with Me and allow Me to have an effect on you, you will not resist Me, you will allow yourselves to be guided by Me and thus also be under My guidance.... The will to completely submit to Me shall be valued by Me, and My Fatherly love, which has great strength and will not let you fall anymore, ensures that you no longer fall back. But anyone who wants to submit to Me must now pay attention to everything he encounters.... For My will shall now obviously become active in order to cause him to be and remain of the same will as Me.... He must know that nothing happens which could not serve his higher development; he must not regard anything as arbitrary, he should recognise Me Myself in everything he encounters and then always behave such that it corresponds to My will, thus it is not directed against My eternal order, against the love which forms the basis of My eternal order. And now you also know what My will is.... to live earthly life with love for Me and your neighbour.... Thus, if you practise love, you already subordinate your will to Mine, and if you increasingly shape yourselves into love, your will shall completely merge with Mine. Your thinking and willing shall no longer be able to be anything other than good, because your will is now also Mine, as soon as love is in you as a divine principle, as soon as the bond with Me is established through love, which no longer allows for any opposing will.... The will without love is more directed by the intellect, but where love is present the heart directs the will, and this imparts My will as well as the strength to turn the will into action.
However, the conscious submission of will shall only ever be the result of faith in the God and Creator of eternity, Who is full of love, wisdom and might.... Only this faith changes the previously opposing will and the human being gives himself to the most perfect Being he has recognised.... he no longer wants to be separated from Him but longs for unification, it first unconsciously and then consciously strives for its original state again, in which it was of the same will as Me, until a counter-will intervened to which the spiritual substance fell victim of its own free will.... But the opposing will made the being miserable, and it drove it to think and act against divine order, and prepared an unfortunate state for it, a state without light and strength, which can only be remedied through a conscious return to divine order, through an integration of the will into Mine, which then also re-establishes the being's original relationship with Me, and brings it happiness and bliss, light and strength in all fullness, and lets it reach the goal which is set for the human being for earthly life....
Amen
