5912 Efforts of God to achieve the change of will....

March 23, 1954: Book 64

There are still countless opportunities which offer people the possibility to find faith and to establish the intimate connection with God, for they still possess their life, they still live on earth and have to put their life behind them as fate would have it, i.e., all these opportunities approach them as fate would have it, and only the will needs to adjust itself correctly, that is, to make use of every opportunity. As long as the human being lives on earth there is still hope for a change of his will, which is still wrongly directed, precisely because this will is free. And God's love and mercy also constantly affects him, yet always in consideration of his free will, but He does not relinquish it as long as he lives on earth.... And even at the hour of death His influence is still evident, where there is still a possibility that the human being's thoughts can turn to Him.... Yet God also knows every person's will and state of maturity, and therefore His working will be very different and often divergent and yet recognized by Him as right.... During his life on earth every human being will be given that which can result in a change of will, a turning towards God.... And no matter how different the knowledge is that is brought to him.... he can utilize his own thinking and will, and all knowledge can earn him blessings if it stimulates him to think and thus to unite with beings which are in knowledge and which now intervene in his thoughts. No human being is left entirely to himself, he is looked after by spiritual beings to whom he is entrusted for guidance through earthly life. Every person is influenced from the spiritual kingdom and at the same time earthly experiences approach him in order to guide his thinking in the right direction.... Thus even such a person who has been given completely erroneous knowledge by people can attain the truth if he wants to attain the truth himself.... For in accordance with this will he will be mentally instructed by the spiritual world. But rarely does a person realize himself what his innermost desire is.... and in order to induce him to clarify his thinking, fate influences him.... Life itself shapes his thinking, and all events in his earthly life only aim at the human being entering into the right bond with God and with the spiritual world.... that it will let him find God.... And as long as the human being lives he can find God but he will not be forced to seek Him.... He is only fatefully placed in situations where God Himself steps into his path, so that he can now face Him but also avoid Him.... And how he now behaves towards God determines his spiritual progress, for this is his purpose of earthly life, to learn to recognize and love God.... And as long as the human being lives he will have the opportunity to do so, because God's love is infinite and wants to win over all who are still distant from Him....

Amen
