7138 God's infinite love.... gifts of grace....

June 3, 1958: Book 76

Every gift presupposes love.... the will to give pleasure, to prove one's love to the other and thereby also make him inclined towards oneself. For I only speak of an unselfish gift which does not seek to achieve earthly advantages, which is a 'gift' in the truest sense of the word.... And such a gift to you humans is also My word which is based on My profound love for you, which signifies a precious gift for you because you can thereby achieve greatest spiritual blessings and because you also learn to love Me Myself when I address you and you then also return My love to Me. You are certainly still at a great distance from Me but I am unable to remain completely silent towards you because My love for you is stronger than that your voluntary former turning away from Me could have extinguished it.... And this love always seeks contact with you again, and it is intent on making you happy, on giving itself to you in order to regain your love.... This is why I address you.... a gift of grace of greatest value I impart to you in order to provide you with everything you lack: with light and strength for your upward development, for your perfection.... No human being is denied this gift, yet whether everyone respects it is questionable, and therefore My word will not touch every person's heart in order to only then be recognized as the most delicious gift it is.... Yet because My love never ceases it also pursues those who turn away from Me, and therefore 'words of God' will also occasionally sound in their ears, I will also address them again and again in order to once achieve that a word finds its way to the heart, that they then turn to Me after all and desire to be addressed further. If I didn't have this infinite love for My living creations they would certainly still walk endless times on dark paths in weakness and unhappiness.... But not all are able to resist My loving address, just as a beautiful gift can gladden a person's heart and change it so that it leans towards the giver and gratefully accepts his gift.... Only it has to be offered with love.... And I am truly only moved by My love to address people again and again and to convey My word from above to them.... because I also know what people on earth lack and what aim they should still reach. And I will never withdraw My love from My living creations, yet only when they also reciprocate My love, when they accept My gift of grace and convey it to their destiny, then I will have won them for ever.... And thus the conveyance of My word must not appear unusual to you, for My love for you, My living creations, is nothing unusual, it is merely My fundamental nature which will never change. Thus I cannot but act in love.... And even apparent cruelties are based on My love if you humans close yourselves off to My blissful love and yet I only want you to open yourselves. Then My love will use other means which you, however, will not recognize as the 'working of love by a God'. Yet they are all gifts which I offer you because they are intended to promote your happiness for once and because you, as beings which voluntarily fell away from Me, do not deserve them, thus they are 'gifts of grace' in the sense of the word. But He Who continues to shower you with gifts of grace is your father and also wants to be recognized as a father by His children. My love will not cease for My created beings, and this love of Mine will not rest until they have transformed themselves into children in order to then prepare glories for them which no human eye has ever seen and no human ear has ever heard.... Then My love will shine through them again as it once did, yet their bliss will be far greater because they will now be close to Me and see Me face to face....

Amen
