8926 The great suffering makes one doubt the love of God....

February 5, 1965: Book 93

Again and again you are told that I am love Itself, that no being is too small for Me not to give it My endless love, and that this love never wants a being to suffer, that it is unable to feel bliss.... Thus your state.... if you suffer or can no longer feel My love.... must (can) therefore be cannot be My will but the will of the one who has placed you in this state, or you have caused the state you are now in yourselves. And that is why you go through an agonizing earth life, always with the aim to free yourselves from this guilt, provided that you seriously strive for this aim. And My endless love will always be helpful to you for this. It pours out favours upon favours upon you, i.e., it bestows gifts upon you which you do not deserve because you once rejected My love.... But My love is greater, and its aim is to win you back, but your free will must be prepared for it, because My justice does not allow that I apply a compulsion, where you must decide in free will. But it is about your life in eternity which is not to be sorrowful, which you are to enjoy in freedom and power, as it was your original purpose. But it is difficult for you humans to believe that I am pure love when you have to go through this earthly life which involves much suffering and you are still faced with great hardship. But always only love determines Me to it, to finally win you for Me, because you are only to turn your looks towards Me, that I now can also grasp you, to never ever give you up. Therefore hold out; do not let yourselves be dissuaded from the faith in Me, and no matter how difficult it may be to believe in a God of love.... The time on earth will soon be over; also all heaviness, suffering will pass, and if it has only brought you a glimmer of knowledge, then you are rescued for all eternity.... But the suffering will still increase, and men will doubt a God and creator.... but the time of the end commands an increasing trouble, but which you all could get through in firm faith in My love, which does not want to leave you to My opponent. For it is now only a question of whether you muster the strength to detach yourselves from him and to strive towards Me in free will.... If you are willing to do so, the strength will be granted to you in every way, for every thought of the heart is known to Me, and My love is always ready to help you.... If only you would believe in Me as your God and creator, Who wants to make all His creations happy for eternity. But the influence of My adversary is exceedingly strong, and you rather surrender to him, who only feels hatred for all creatures and wants your ruin.... And you, who cling to him, you forcefully draw near the end, because I must again wrest his power over you from him and again cause you agonies, by Me having to let you cover the course once again, so that you once again reach the stage as man. And also this is a proof of My endless love towards you, because once you will reach the aim and then you will also realize it that you could not reach perfection differently than on this way, and then you will be happy and remain eternally...._>Amen
