7192 God's infinite merciful love....
October 22, 1958: Book 76
God's love has carried you through eternity, it has struggled for your love with immeasurable patience, for for eternity you had already stood at a great distance which had been created by your lack of love. But you emerged from God's love.... Therefore His love for you could not pass away. But you yourselves were freely created beings which, due to their freedom of will, were able to reshape yourselves and turn your nature into something completely opposite. And an immense number of created beings have done this. It became God-opposing in its attitude and consequently also in its nature. It fell from the state of perfection into the opposite, it lost its power and light and thereby also its freedom.... But it was and remained God's emanated strength of love, it was sparks of light from His immeasurable fire of love, which certainly got lost into infinity but could never disappear again. And thus these sparks of love lost their luminosity, and.... the more they distanced themselves from God.... they also lost their life, their power of movement and slowly became hardened substance.... which was basically spiritual but no longer corresponded to its former purpose: to somehow be able to be active.... For the being had originally been created for a free, active life according to God's will. But now it had deprived itself of this life, it had made itself incapable of using strength and light in divine order because it had stepped out of this divine order itself. But it could no longer perish.... And neither does God allow that which emerged from His strength of love to remain in this unworthy state, which completely contradicts His order, for eternity. But neither does He force it to give up its resistance against Him. Yet the nature of the being when it dwells as a hardened spiritual substance far away from God is also completely without strength to take the path of return to God, and it had also lost the consciousness of an individual being.... it is a dead spiritual mass which requires help if only the slightest change is to take place. And God's all-merciful love now helps it to achieve this change, and where God's love is at work, success can also be irrevocably expected. But when this success is reached is not determined, because the being's free will must again declare itself ready for the final return, which is only given back to the being in a certain stage of ascent development. But the fact that that stage is reached is the great work of mercy of fatherly love for Your living creations, which otherwise would have to remain eternally in endless distance. As soon as you walk this earth as a human being you will have reached that stage of free will.... But consider that it took eternities until the once-fallen individual being, which was once again divided into innumerable particles or small particles of strength, came together and existed again as an I-conscious being. Consider that the preliminary stages of this development were innumerable deformations which contained all those small particles of strength; and understand that the entire creations.... all works of creation visible to you as well as innumerable spiritual creations.... are and were shells of those dissolved particles of strength. are and were shells of those dissolved beings which, with progressive development, contained more and more of the substances of the originally created being, until finally all particles belonging to an original spirit are gathered again in the external form of the human being and now, therefore, in the state of free will this original spirit has to pass the test of will again: its recognition of the creator as father, to Whom the being offers its love and would like to be united with Him again.... This, then, is your task as a human being, which you must solve in complete free will.... (22.10.1958) And this task is extremely significant, for a failure, a disregard, can result in eternal times of hardship and torment, in captivity again.... that the being will be dissolved again into countless particles and bound in solid form.... a state which is so dreadful that no human being would want it if only he received a glimmer of realization of what this state consists of. This glimmer can certainly be given to him through teachings which, however, lack all evidential power and are therefore rarely only believed. But they are nevertheless given to the human being.... For God's love is infinite, and it is precisely this love which again and again tries to give people a little light, which lets the light shine into dark areas, which only ever endeavours to give so much good to the human being that he feels love burning within himself for a being Whose love he feels. And as soon as love has ignited in the human being's heart, the aim is also certain: the final return to God.... The fateful course of a person's earthly life can lead to this aim, for it is determined by God's love and His unsurpassable wisdom, always such that His love can also be recognized by the person who is aware of a spiritual earthly task and already possesses a glimmer of realization, because he is without inner resistance towards his God and creator. But where this is still present the divine light of love does not penetrate either, because it does not necessarily express itself but holds back with its effect of strength.... thus it does not grant 'realization' to the one who resists it himself. But God's love nevertheless pursues the human being.... and once it also safely reaches the aim, once every being turns towards it, yet it determines the time itself when it gives up its resistance....
Amen
