7766 Pointing the way to the father....

December 8, 1960: Book 81

Let yourselves be led to Me, all you who are addressed by My messengers who bring you My word.... For My address is meant for all of you who are still far away from Me. I love all of you and don't want to let you get lost, all of you shall experience My love so that you will take the path to Me, for one day you will irrevocably have to return to Me from Whom you once came forth. Yet for the most part you don't know your origin and your aim.... you know nothing of your earthly task, and you know even less why you walk the earth.... You do not know that you once sinned and fell away from Me and that you cannot remain far away from Me if you want to become blessed.... Yet you know that you are wretched creatures, for you cannot defend yourselves against all kinds of strokes of fate, you cannot put a stop to suffering and illness when they come upon you, nor do you have the strength to always carry out what you want.... You are flawed creatures which, however, you were not in the beginning. And because I love you I try to impart the knowledge of everything to you, for I want you to voluntarily take the path to Me again, just as you once voluntarily distanced yourselves from Me. And I will show you the path, I will announce My will to you through My messengers.... And therefore you shall listen to My messengers, you shall receive My word from them, you shall put it into action. And then you will also experience the effect of My word, for My word teaches you love.... and anyone who develops love within himself, who lives in love, will experience that My word is truth and that it leads to Me. I only want to win you back, for you are and remain Mine, even if you voluntarily join another lord.... He, too, is entitled to you because you followed him voluntarily. But nevertheless you are My share, for you emerged from My strength and therefore I will not abandon you forever. I could certainly achieve through My might that you return to Me, yet this would not be enough for Me because My love created you and love will never force what opposes it.... Yet I will keep courting your love until you voluntarily give it to Me.... But then you will be blessed.... and I only want your bliss.... This is why I have redeemed the great sin of your former apostasy from Me, this is why I have accomplished the work of redemption for you.... And it only requires your will to become free from your former lord and to belong to Me. And through the graces of the act of salvation you will also have the strength to set yourselves free.... You will return to Me again of your own free will. Again and again I send you My messengers who bring you My word, who convey this knowledge to you, who inform you of the divine redeemer Jesus Christ, and again and again you are directed to Him that you should approach Him for forgiveness of your sins and that you thereby confess your faith in Him and at the same time also testify to the acknowledgement of Me.... And then you have taken the path which leads to Me. Therefore listen to My messengers, open the door of your heart to them so that I Myself can enter when I follow them and desire to be accepted by you. Let Me address you Myself and you will then willingly follow Me on the path to the height.... Then you will long for unification with Me yourselves, because then you will also have recognized Me as your father Who speaks to His children with love in order to win them over for Himself forever...._>Amen
