5499 Earthly task: Reshaping into love.... God's favour....

October 4, 1952: Book 60

Nothing unfulfillable has been given to you humans in earthly life when you are asked to shape yourselves into love.... For you are supported by Eternal Love, and therefore it is easily possible for you to fulfil your earthly task, yet Eternal Love can only constantly bestow favours upon you and you need do nothing more than utilise these favours. If you utilise them then you will ascend with ease, but if you ignore them and therefore leave them unutilised then you will be without strength to ascend, and then Eternal Love cannot help you either because there is still resistance in you which renders its strength of love ineffective. You could already attain a degree of maturity in a short time if you sought to join the Eternal Love by working with love.... You should shape yourselves into love, that is your task in life, and for this it is only necessary that you first have the love of your own will for what is good and put this will into practice by serving your neighbour, by offering him help if he needs it.... Through this unselfish act of love the connection to God already takes place, Who is Eternal Love.... And now, through this connection, the path is created for the constant receipt of strength of love...., i.e., God, as Eternal Love, now provides you with the strength to constantly accomplish deeds of love, because this strength also influences your will, which always feels more impelled to work with love. Man becomes willing and able to love as soon as he has only once performed works of love in free will. Time and again God leads the human being into situations where he can be lovingly active. In His love He does everything in order to help the human being attain perfection; He takes care of all of the human being's feelings and accordingly arranges the individual person's fate; His gifts of grace are unmeasured and all merely aim to mature the human being's soul, yet the human being has to allow himself to be guided, he has to follow his feelings, he has to want what is good and never pass by opportunities which stimulate and require his willingness to help. For all these are favours through which God wants to help the human being to do that which makes him mature.... to work in love in order to establish the union with God and then to receive unmeasured strength which will ensure his ascent. Believe in God and think of Him and you will also be able to feel Him, because His love and grace constantly tries to have an effect on you and is able to do so, if only you are of good will and strive to fulfil His will....

Amen
