6064 Love work on the unredeemed....

September 25, 1954: Book 65

Love for the unredeemed moves all souls in the spiritual kingdom to help as soon as they themselves are redeemed, i.e. can be radiated through with light. For this radiance of light is the result of an activity of love on earth or in the beyond, and this love seizes everything wretched in order to help it to beatitude. And therein again consists their own bliss, for they receive in the same measure as they give, and to receive means: to be radiated through by God's strength of love, thus to feel God's nearness. Thus the unredeemed souls are never without help, they are never left to themselves, even though they are sometimes in greatest loneliness and see or feel no being around them. They are always guided in such a way that they can think about themselves, and then a helpful soul approaches them which advises them to change their situation and offers them suggestions to improve the situation themselves. The light souls' compassion is great and they never give up on a soul, even if it is initially unwilling to accept the advice. Yet they do not reveal themselves, even if they have been in contact with that soul on earth. For the souls must freely want to come to the light, they must not be determined in any way to change their will and thinking. Love has great strength, and the more love is given to an unredeemed soul the more willing it is and the easier it gives up its resistance. And even on earth love-filled people can have a much easier effect on an unbelieving person, i.e., love in the person's heart achieves more than the most awakened intellect which, although it can theoretically advocate everything it says, does not penetrate the person's heart but only appeals to the intellect again. That is why intercession, which comes from a loving heart, has a great effect of strength, that is why many a soul can be redeemed through intercession on earth as well as in the beyond. People themselves can, as it were, make it easier for those unredeemed souls to accept the instructions, because this is already the effect of loving intercession, that the soul willingly accepts every effort which applies to its ascent. Without love, however, the human being will not achieve much, and without love the will to redeem is also small, or he himself is not yet redeemed, because shaping himself into love is the first prerequisite for being permeated by divine light of love....

Amen
