7793 Giving up resistance.... devotion to God....
January 10, 1961: Book 81
The slightest resistance also reduces My strength of love.... And thus it is always up to you humans yourselves whether you feel Me and My love, yet full devotion to Me makes it possible for Me to also have an unusual effect on you, which, however, I cannot do as long as you still resist Me, as long as you are still inwardly distant from Me, as long as you do not yet seek Me of your own free will. But you will always find inner peace when you have trustingly given yourselves to Me, and I will now also be able to work on and in you.... I will be able to provide for you spiritually and earthly, I will be able to give you what you ask for, be it spiritual or earthly requests which you now address to Me. For My love always wants to touch you, I always want to give you evidence of My love, because I want to induce you into an ever more intimate bond with Me. And if I assure you of this love of Mine you truly need not go through your earthly life anxiously, for all hardship will pass when it has fulfilled its purpose of leading you closer to Me. But you must not distance yourselves from Me in times of earthly adversity or hardship, because then you will offer Me the resistance which prevents Me from giving you evidence of My great love for you.... You must gratefully and humbly accept everything from My hand which fate imposes on you, for they are only ever indications of the path you should take.... the path to Me, Who will also turn everything away from you again when the time has come. I can never and will never break your resistance by force.... but if you give it up of your own accord, that is, if you surrender yourselves to Me in faithful trust, then the purpose which all suffering is intended to achieve will also be fulfilled: Then My love can take effect and help you achieve maturity of soul, and then you will also soon have overcome, because then you will receive strength from My love which will strengthen you and no longer allow any weakness to arise in you. Just secure all My love for yourselves and your life will be an easy one, because then you will always be able to avail yourselves of My strength when and where you need it. Ask Me in spirit and in truth that I will take care of you, that I will guide and lead you, that I will not abandon you.... And truly, you will feel My guidance and you will have an easy life on this earth.... For then I will also be able to illuminate you with My love as once, because you no longer close your heart to Me, because you acknowledge Me and thus have already returned to Me, even though you still live on earth.... Seek Me and give yourselves to Me.... and you have done everything you should do in earthly life: You have given up all resistance against Me and can therefore be seized and permeated by Me and My love again. And only accept all your suffering and hardship as a means to find the path to Me, for I certainly want to win you over for Myself but cannot force you to belong to Me. And therefore your own will has to become active.... You must come to Me and you will be accepted by My love which will never let you go again...._>Amen
