4070 Love....

April 26, 1947: Book 50

My love for you humans is infinitely profound, and your earthly life shall be proof of this, for I give it to you in order to also win your love, which you denied Me because you did not recognise Me. I court your love until you offer yourselves to Me, until you have become Mine for eternity.... Love is bliss, love is sense of togetherness and the desire to please, to give.... And if you humans feel love on earth you will not rest until the object of your love is in your possession, and then you will be happy. And you can only feel love very slightly because you would not be able to bear the abundance of love which I am willing to give to you and which determines Me to approach you again and again so that you shall recognise Me and I shall win your love. And therefore I will never condemn anything which is caused by love, for if you carry the holiest feeling in your heart, if you feel pure love, this is already an adjustment to My nature, it is a sign that you have kindled the spark of divine love which was your original nature, for you emerged from My power of love. What therefore unites in love has My blessing, for it cannot pollute because love is pure and noble as long as the will not to sin is present in the human being. But if you have doubts, if you cannot distinguish right from wrong, then ask Me and I will answer you. And again, I say to you: Cultivate love.... It is the divine, it is My share, it carries you over everything, it leads you upwards, it leads to Me, it can also only drive you to good thoughts and actions, otherwise it would not be love.... For a love which takes a wrong direction is certainly also a desire for possession, yet a spiritually striving person will truly have the right feeling for whether love is right or just self-love which only desires and does not want to give. Giving love is always divine and has My blessing, but desiring love never thinks of the other but only of itself. And this is the characteristic of love which is blessed by Me, that it makes you happy and increases, that it seeks to make happy and that it does not displace the love for Me, i.e. that I am not eliminated from your thoughts, which, however, will always be the case if love takes a wrong direction, if it is only self-love....

Amen
