5662 No God of wrath and vengeance.... love and mercy....

April 29, 1953: Book 62

Myself take pity on humanity and nothing happens on My part to increase the state of misery they are in; nothing happens which could be interpreted as wrath and punishment by Me but I only ever endeavour to bring help, to lead people out of their self-chosen and self-created state. My patience is endless and My love determines all My rule and activity. For I see where people's actions lead to, I know their fate which they are heading towards and I cannot prevent it because I cannot take people's free will away from them. You would understand all this if love were in you, then the spiritual blindness would be remedied, and a seeing person also takes the right path and also reaches the aim. But you are without love and therefore miserable.... I want to help you, but do you accept My help? You turn away from Me when I approach you and stretch out My hands to you, you blindly continue to walk towards the abyss, for your will is stronger than your love, and this will is wrongly directed. And I cannot rectify it by force, otherwise you would remain what you are now, directed beings who could never become blissfully happy. I will never turn away from you, even if you always strive more and more towards the abyss, I will always follow you with My love and mercy, I will entice and call you but never force you to follow Me.... Yet I use all means to protect you from further decline. And these means are cause for you to regard Me as a God of wrath and vengeance, providing you still believe in a God Who created you. But I would like to prove My love to you in order to win your love too, yet you don't recognize Me because you are blind in spirit.... I truly don't hold it against you, yet you create a fate for yourselves which is agonizing and lasts an infinitely long time until relief comes.... Therefore much suffering will still pass over the earth, which is the only means to turn your will towards Me, and blessed is he who then flees to Me in his distress, for the greatest danger is averted from him that he will again have to dwell in darkness for an infinitely long time, that he will be banished anew on the day of judgment.... He has allowed himself to be pulled back from the edge of the abyss, he has taken hold of My hand which now no longer lets him fall but slowly helps him upwards....

Amen
