7508 Peace in God....

January 26, 1960: Book 79

I give you the peace which the world cannot give you.... The world will indeed offer and promise you its pleasures but these will not give you the inner peace which you can only find in Me, for it is your soul which feels the inner peace, and this is addressed by Me alone but not by the world and its pleasures. The latter only serve the body for satisfaction, but the soul demands something else, it demands My address, My strength and My blessing, and if it has these it will also have peace within itself as long as it lives on earth. 'Peace in Me' is the most valuable thing I can offer you, for at the same time it is the guarantee for a rightly conducted way of life, for a way of life which corresponds to My will, otherwise you would not find peace within yourselves. And if you then live a life of love, an inner peace will make your heart happy, you will feel that you live according to My will, for love unites you with Me and My peace can then descend into your heart, for you are in Me and I in you.... Love is also a guarantee for inner peace, and to practice love is not worldly desire or worldly fulfilment.... love is spiritual good which can be attained by the person who is of good will.... And this person will then also have peace within himself. But where does the world radiate peace? It will only ever put your hearts into restlessness, there will be no end to your desire, you will strive and grab whatever earthly goods you can from the world and you will never have enough of them, for the world will only become increasingly more attached to you and you will think less and less about gaining spiritual goods, your striving will become increasingly more busy, you will become increasingly more restless.... There will be no peace in your soul because the world cannot give you peace. Yet you should strive for peace from Me, then you will also know that you are taking the right path, for to have found peace in Me is truly your soul's greatest salvation.... and only the person will be able to speak of peace of soul who lives according to My will, who keeps My commandments.... and lives a life of love. And blessings will also arise from his way of life, his soul will mature and be ever more intimately united with Me, he will always feel secure in Me, for he has found the peace which only I can give him....

Amen
