0368 Glowing heart.... forms of the soul.... power of love....

April 6, 1938: Book 8

A red-hot iron takes the shape into which it is pressed.... a heart glowing with love will likewise shape itself according to My will.... and you, My child, have to expect the time when all impurity separates from your soul and it completely abandons itself to Me so that I give it the right form.... and this now formed soul takes in an abundance of divine spirit if it is able to grasp it. In its purity it has become a vessel which the saviour uses for His abode.... and will not everything in you then be filled with love for your creator?.... Will you not tremble with the happiness that union with your saviour brings you?.... Do not allow it to occur to you that My dwelling on earth, in your midst, could ever come to an end.... I will not let the connection that has once been established be destroyed, and your heart will long for Me so fervently that I can never ever leave you, because love always draws Me to you, because I am always omnipresent in love and because I am love Itself.... Thus you will never lose Me, you who only lift your thoughts.... lift up your hearts to Me.... The most respectable worldly testimony of honor will not be able to replace what a moment of bliss prepares in your hearts when I dwell in it.... and likewise you will long for no other bliss than My presence.... The holiest feeling in you will always remain love, but whom I consider with My love will never forget Me.... Yet I demand your complete devotion.... if you want to be Mine. Then you must openly acknowledge Me.... if you want to be happy in My love, then try to also give this love to your earthly brothers and sisters, try to open the fountain of life for them.... try to win their hearts and ears for Me and you will increase the number of My little sheep.... you will snatch them from destruction.... you will share in their eternal life as soon as you have brought Me, your saviour, to them....

You all do not know the power of love.... you do not know the greatness of the guilt in which the enemy has entangled you.... Where would you be with this guilt if My love did not wipe it out and light a little light for you so that you do not walk the path of life in darkness and therefore go astray.... I ask for nothing more than your heart, but this completely, so that I can shape it according to My will, if you sacrifice your will to Me completely. Become like children, allow yourselves to be led, also allow yourselves to be punished where My love deems it right.... so that you learn to love Me ever more intimately and turn your whole being towards Me.... then you will have become such in ardent love that I can shape you into the most beautiful form.... into the image of God.... O you do not yet recognize the love that can change you overnight into the noblest, clearest crystal.... into purest gold.... into the most radiant light.... Therefore love.... love the lord God above all else and love your fellow human beings.... For only out of love will you be able to be immeasurably blessed for all eternity....

Amen
