5894 Willingness to accept gifts of grace....

March 4, 1954: Book 64

How people relate to Me is how My grace can take effect on them. It requires a willingness to accept the gifts of grace, and this willingness again requires an acknowledgement of Myself, a faith in Me and thus conscious turning towards Me in the form of thoughts or prayer.... For the gifts of grace are My emanations which can only touch the human being if he establishes a connection with Me. This is quite simply a law that a flow is interrupted as soon as the connection is broken.... and that it is therefore entirely up to the human being's will whether he establishes the connection himself in order to enter the blessing of the flow of strength emanating from Me. For everything that originates from Me is strength which is tremendously beneficial for the human being if it is utilized. And since the human being does not have to claim it because he once voluntarily separated himself from Me, every grant of strength is to be evaluated as an act of love and grace.... Thus undeserved gifts are given to you when My strength is conveyed to you, and these gifts are acts of grace.... They are only intended to help you become powerful again, they are only intended to promote your upward development, because without the supply of strength you are unable to develop upwards. In My infinite love I want to remedy your self-inflicted inability, I want to give you what you lack because you have given it away yourselves.... Light and strength.... but your will is the prerequisite that you are willing to accept it. You must not turn away from Me but turn to Me with an open heart and a flow of strength will flow into you which will remove all weakness from you. Something will be supplied to your soul which it will feel exceedingly beneficent and increase its impetus to come closer to Me.... You need only accept what My love offers you in order to now be able to change completely, in order to brightly and clearly recognize where your beatitude is to be found and what your task is on earth in order to reach the aim. You receive light and strength unmeasured if only you are willing to accept it. It is an undeserved gift, yet without your will even such a gift from Me has no effect.... But for everyone who connects with Me.... be it through questioning thoughts or also conscious prayer.... the flow of grace will not remain without effect.... He will always request and receive more because his will no longer offers Me resistance and I can therefore consider him according to his desire....

Amen
