4650 God's overflowing love.... How should love for God be like?....

May 24, 1949: Book 53

You cannot measure My love which I have for My creatures and which determines Me for everything that happens and what I allow. It is like a mighty hearth of fire, it is like an enormous flame, it is like an ember which consumes everything that comes within its range. And again, My love is gentle and mild, which solicits reciprocal love with all tenderness, which never decreases, which never fails itself, which always and constantly wants to please and gives up nothing that belongs to Me. My love is of such strength that it also achieves everything it wants and is so certain of its success that it does not force anything but waits for the counter-love which is voluntarily given to Me. I want to possess your love, your complete devotion to Me, I want your will which shall turn to Me of its own free will, for then you will also love Me, then I will have won you for eternity. But what should your love for Me be like? How can you recognize that you love Me? If you have a high, holy feeling in your heart towards Him, Whom you do not see and Whom you do not know and yet believe in Him, that He is and you are His creatures. This holy feeling, however, must not only consist of mental excitement, but it must be a silent vow to belong to Him and to be at His will.... it must be a silent vow to work with Me using all strength. Therefore, anyone who makes this vow to Me will also feel drawn to everything that has emerged from My hand from that moment on, for he now has love within himself because he attracts Me Myself through his love, and thus he is also devoted to his fellow human beings.... he feels love for his neighbour which is expressed in unselfish activity for him. And thus he demonstrates love for Me through active neighbourly love, because one emerges from the other. Then My love can also shine upon him, yet only to an extent he can bear, but it will increase immeasurably, for My love knows no limits, just as My living creations' love can and will increase once they have been permeated by My strength of love and have found unity with Me, once they have become My own for eternity....

Amen
