4654 "Become like the children...."

May 31, 1949: Book 53

"Become like children...." I am pleased with the quiet, humble love of children who trustingly approach Me, who press towards the father's love and seek a response from Him. Become like children.... If you truly feel like children and direct your steps towards the father, if you seek refuge with Him, you will enter into the right relationship in which you stood in the beginning and which you resolved yourselves of your own free will. If you now return to the father the spell is broken, you become free children of God again, you have found your way back to Me and can now be blissfully happy in My presence. You must feel it alive within you that I am your father, that you are My children who emerged from My love, who eternally possess My fatherly love.... you must be happy and calm in your thoughts of Me, remain untouched by all adversity and affliction, firmly trusting that the father will protect you from every danger of body and soul. Only the right trust characterizes a child's relationship with its father, and until you place this trust in Me you are not yet in a child's relationship with Me, then you are still far away from Me and I am a stranger to you and not constantly present. Where a heart opens itself to Me, where it communes with Me in the desire to receive Me, to hear Me and to feel Me, there is no longer a gulf between the child and the father, it is with Him and the father is constantly with His child, the father hears every request, every question, and He considers the child as it is helpful to Him. Therefore, first of all strive for the right of childship which arises from the right relationship with Me. For if you are My true children you are also entitled to many rights.... that the father will continue to care for His child, that He will help it spiritually and earthly towards perfection, that He will instruct it and feed it with nourishment for body and soul. As My true children you can demand everything from Me, I will deny you nothing and constantly make you happy with gifts of love which I always have in store for My children. Become like the children!.... Leave all self-conceit aside and humbly come to Me with a loving heart and accept the abundance of My love which I want to bestow upon all My living creations. This relationship between children must still be established on earth if you want to become true children of God with all rights in eternity. And once you have handed yourselves over to Me as weak-willed little children I will never let you leave Me again, I will watch over you and prevent all evil from gaining access to you so that you can no longer get lost to Me or hand yourselves over to My adversary. I am your father from eternity and only wait for the moment when you lift your hearts to Me full of childlike love. Then I will have won you back eternally and you will be free. For the father does not keep His children under compulsion as soon as they are subject to Him in love, since their will is now the same, and they will only want what is My will and can never ever lack My will....

Amen
