6319 Peace in God....

July 26, 1955: Book 68

Only in union with Me do you find true peace.... Only when My ray of love hits you will you feel bliss.... And even if you believe you have found earthly happiness it will not last as long as you are not united with Me. True peace can only be found in union with Me, because only the soul feels it and is not satisfied with earthly happiness.... The human being's thoughts and aspirations can indeed only be earthly directed, thus the body can likewise determine the soul to strive for earthly pleasures.... But the soul will never feel truly happy, for what truly makes the soul happy can only originate in the spiritual kingdom, and it can only receive spiritual possessions through direct union with Me. You humans will only experience this once you have been spiritually nourished, once you have thereby recognized the love with which your father inclines towards you.... then nothing else will come close to satisfying you, even if the body still has needs it would like to satisfy. But only that which flows to you from Me will cause the soul happiness.... Then the soul will feel that its desire is satisfied, whereas earthly fulfilment is not true happiness but only a temporary intoxication. But worldlings don't understand this, they only continue to chase after earthly goods and pleasures, and they always try to numb the feeling of emptiness which arises in them with new sensual pleasures.... they only ever feel satisfied as long as they indulge in worldly pleasures in order to be dissatisfied with themselves and the world when these worldly pleasures subside.... They will never find true peace, because I reserve this for Myself and can only ever bestow it upon the one who turns to Me and longs for true bliss. The world cannot give you humans this peace, for it is My share, it has nothing to do with the world.... But people can certainly live in the midst of the world and still be blissfully happy in My peace.... And this is what you humans should strive for, so that earthly life can also become a source of bliss for you if you only ever seek contact with Me in it.... And you establish the connection with Me through loving activity. Hence unselfish neighbourly love will in turn earn you the deepest peace, you will no longer ask for anything but only ever want to give, and the deeper and more blissful will be the peace which fills your soul. And you yourselves will be rich, for you will receive in the same measure as you give out.... Hence you will not suffer earthly hardship either, you will therefore no longer need to desire earthly goods because you will receive everything you need and have no desire for more.... Then inner peace will fill your heart but it must not be confused with earthly satisfaction.... For I will give you the peace which the world cannot give you.... This is My promise, which will also be fulfilled if you seek contact with Me, if you keep My commandments and work in love and thereby also give Me the opportunity to consider you in the same way as you distribute.... Then a deep peace will sink into your heart and you will already be blessed on earth....

Amen
