5506 Spring of living water.... Key to the gate....

October 13, 1952: Book 60

The spring, which lets the living water flow to you will never run dry, for you humans very much need the strength for your soul, which you can only find at My source of love and wisdom, and therefore I Myself will never stop the flow of the water of life, I will never let a traveller go on without a refreshing drink who hopes to find this refreshment at My source. I will never deny Myself.... yet you humans have free will, you can also quench your thirst elsewhere if the path to the source of life seems too arduous to you, if you prefer to go downhill even though the source is above which truly refreshes you. You have free will, and what you ask for will be granted to you.... But there is only one source, which lets the water of life flow forth, which gives strength to your soul. You have to receive it from Me Myself, for I truly offer you the right food and the right drink.... And this nourishment will harbour strength for every soul, and it will feel that it recovers, if it was ill; it will feel that it becomes strong, where it was previously afflicted by a weakness, which made every ascent difficult for it. But where do you humans find the fountain of life, the source from which you can all draw, from which you can gather strength for your path upwards? Where Am I to be found, I Who have opened up this source for you? You don't need to walk long earthly paths, you only need to open the door to the heart yourselves through loving activity where this source springs forth for all of you, where you can enter into direct contact with Me, Who now feeds and waters you, Who now offers you full cups of the most delicious water of life, so that your thirst will be quenched eternally.... Whatever is brought to you from outside can only become real nourishment for your soul, when you yourselves desire to drink from the fountain of life.... For you must first receive everything from Me before it serves you as real food and real drink.... You must go to the fountain of life, for what you receive elsewhere has no good effect for your soul, yet it can make the soul unreceptive to the right nourishment and therefore cause it harm. And so you must understand correctly, taht My water of life is denied to no-one, My source is inaccessible to no-one, yet the human being must want to reach it, he must possess the key in order to open the gate, and he will always and constantly be allowed to refresh himself. But the key to this is love.... For only he who has love will be drawn to that source from which love will flow towards him again.... Love seeks Me and also finds Me, love is nourished by Eternal Love, love pushes towards the primal source of love, the fountain of love and wisdom has been opened to the human being, from which he can now draw for all eternity....

Amen
