4342 Love - bliss.... gifts - fulfilling.... working together....

June 19, 1948: Book 51

The spiritual union with Me can only take place if the human being has shaped himself into love. How then could I condemn a union which is based on love? I want a feeling to flare up in you which shall give you a glimmer of realization of what I feel for you who have come forth from Me. Love of the heart is something holy, something related to My fundamental nature, even if the human being can never feel love to the extent that it fills Me. Love is therefore wanted by Me and also blessed by Me as soon as it lifts you humans up and you try to make each other happy. And where true, profound love ignites I will always be present, for then you will also live out My word which teaches you love. Every person is your neighbour whom you should love as yourselves.... if you show him more love than you do yourselves, you can always be certain of My pleasure, for then the holiest feeling will drive you and you will understand that I demand love from all people because I want them to become blissfully happy.... for love is bliss as soon as it is given, just as love is bliss which is fulfilled. The loving person will give and fulfil at the same time, but nothing but love again, and then it is also approved by Me, then I bless those who love each other, and My blessing can also be recognized by everlasting help where it is required. My love embraces all My children, and a father's heart rejoices when an intimate relationship is established between those who are close to Him. Therefore I want to unite My own and direct their will so that they will strive towards each other in times of greatest adversity, I want intimate communion to exist when cooperation is necessary and that separation is impossible for the sake of their purpose. For I have chosen those who shall carry out My work, thus I will bless a covenant which guarantees spiritual cooperation, and I will show it to you so clearly that I have designated you as My workers.... and without resistance you will submit yourselves to My destiny, for the time will soon be fulfilled, then you will have to take up your office and work together for Me and My kingdom, which necessitates profound, pure love between you. For you will draw strength from love, because I am constantly present to you if you are permeated by the feeling which I also cherish for you, if you love with the ardour of your heart, if you unite in order to make yourselves happy and thereby come close to Me in your heart, for I Myself am love and can only reveal Myself to a loving being....

Amen
