5781 Subordinating the will....

October 6, 1953: Book 63

Only ever submit yourselves to My will, which only demands love from you, and your way of life on earth will be pleasing to Me, you will find favour in My sight, and you will have won My love, which has indeed applied to you since the beginning but which could no longer touch you in its strength. However, as soon as you have entered into My will, that is, as soon as all your thoughts and intentions strive not to grieve Me, My love can have an effect on you again in all its strength.... i.e. to the extent that you can endure on earth, for you have now returned to Me again, from Whom you once voluntarily separated yourselves. To enter into My will means to make an effort to move within the order which is the fundamental law from eternity, to bring all good qualities to perfection, to discard all bad qualities, to shape yourselves according to divine principle.... to bring love within you to its highest development.... For to be perfected is to be filled with love. Perfection is a divine state, a state which has no lack, which is therefore also a prerequisite to be close to Me, to be united with Me. And in order to achieve this blissful state My creature's will has to completely conform to My will.... it has to enter into My will so completely that a joint working begins, which also means the same as giving up all resistance, all will of its own.... thus to return to Me in free will.... You humans should achieve this aim on earth, you should prove that you want to belong to Me forever by acknowledging Me alone and striving towards Me, by all your thoughts and endeavours on earth being to live as it pleases Me. This will is the passed test of earthly life, and if this will is in you then you are saved for eternity, for the strength comes to you from Me to carry out your will and to live according to My will, as soon as I only see your will turned towards Me.... I want you to become blissfully happy but cannot force your will into a different direction because you determine it yourselves. Yet My love embraces My living creations which are willing to comply with Me of their own accord.... who have become My children and will remain so for all eternity....

Amen
