7846 Remembrance.... rejoicing in the kingdom of light....

March 9, 1961: Book 82

One day you will be able to look back and follow your whole course of development when you have entered the kingdom of light, and you will not be able to praise My love and grace enough and thank Me when you realize how I only ever endeavoured to create spiritual progress for you so that the path to Me became ever shorter and you were able to reach Me one day. But during your earthly life as a human being your recollection has to be taken away from you, for you have to pass the last earthly life test in free will, but this would make the recollection of your past life in the creations of earth impossible, for you would turn to Me driven by fear. Yet this would not be enough for Me, for I want your love.... I want your voluntary return to Me which will then also prove your love for Me. Nevertheless, I instruct you about your infinitely long process of development, only you are not forced to believe this, and even if you believe it you don't know about the torments and the state of wretchedness during the time when your will is still bound.... you don't let yourselves be impressed to such an extent that you now change your will out of fear. Your nature alone will always be decisive as to whether you change it into love.... Accordingly, your desire for Me and the guarantee for your voluntary return to Me. But again, it is good if the knowledge of the state of torment in the bound will is presented to you, for it can make you think, and it can also convince you of My infinite love and patience which does everything to win you back again.... The knowledge can cause you to lead your way of life responsibly and make an effort to fulfil My will, of which you also take notice as soon as this knowledge is also presented to you. But it is always your free will how you adjust yourselves to such knowledge which informs you of a long course of development before the embodiment as a human being. And that is why only few people consciously live their earthly life. For only a few accept such knowledge, only a few allow themselves to be taught by My messengers, and I can only speak to very few in order to impart this knowledge to them. Yet the jubilation in the kingdom of light will be indescribable when the soul has completed its earthly life, when it has voluntarily taken the path to Me, when it brightly and clearly overlooks everything and thus also overlooks its long course of development.... Then My greater than great love will become apparent to it, then the love for Me will also flare up ever more hotly in it, and then it will also want to show its gratitude, and it will want to take part in the work of redemption in order to help the still struggling spiritual being to attain the same happiness and the same abundance of light in bliss again.... For love impels it to constant activity, love is meant for Me and also for the still wretched spirits, and love does not rest, for it wants to make everything happy and know everything blissfully that once came forth from Me.... And therefore My love is also constantly endeavouring to return the spiritual substance, and it truly does everything to make the path easier for you, which is of utmost importance especially in the human stage, because free will decides and I constantly influence this will in a good sense but without forcing it. But once I will also certainly reach the aim that you return in free will; but you yourselves can also endlessly prolong the time you need for this if you fail in earthly life as a human being and turn your will wrong again.... yet as soon as you keep to My word, which is offered to you again and again, you can also be certain that you will reach the aim.... For then you will also receive the strength to ascend, and then you will also fulfil My will of your own accord and rightly pass your final test.... And you will thank Me and praise and glorify Me eternally when you are allowed to enter the kingdom of light where you may behold Me face to face...._>Amen
