5406 God's unfathomable nature can only be comprehended through love....

June 7, 1952: Book 60

As long as you stay on earth, My nature will remain an unfathomable secret to you for I, as the eternal love, can only be approximately understood by love. And you don't know this love, which is so radiant and effective that it signifies a creative power from which you also emerged as something of essence. If you were still in your original state then you would also be able to comprehend My love in your might and wisdom, because your own strength of love would constantly be creatively active and you would recognize yourselves as My image.... I could therefore not be so much of an inscrutable mystery to you because you would be able to rediscover My essence in yourselves and thus you would also be able to recognize Me.... But this way you are devoid of all creative power, you are devoid of the omnipotence and wisdom and thus so devoid of knowledge that you no longer possess the slightest knowledge about My nature and that it is difficult for you to profoundly believe that you are the products of the love of an exceedingly perfect Being. And neither can the knowledge of this be conveyed to you until you accept the characteristic which conditions a divine being with the power of realization and might, until you develop the characteristic within yourselves which is love....

(7.6.1952) which is light at the same time. You still lack this creative power of love. And yet, it is within you, i.e., as My living creations you are also beings of equal substance which, however, still rests hidden within you as long as a dense opposing cover prevents it from being creatively active. The power of love is within you but does not manifest itself externally, because you yourselves, i.e. your will, has to pave the way for it.... because you should use your vitality to accomplish actions which correspond to your actual nature.... works of love, and thus develop the strength within you, that is. To a certain extent you need to return to what you once were, for you were perfect and became imperfect through unkindness. But you could not drive love out of you, only make it ineffective through the ever denser shell. And now you have to break up this cover the opposite way by carrying out works of love which perhaps are not yet caused by love, at first, but just by goodwill. But thereby the strength of love in you becomes effective, for a good action again ignites a ray of love in the person to whom the action is directed, and the fire of love in the heart, the good counter-thought, already has the effect of awakening love in the heart of the giver, and the will to love becomes stronger and stronger, the human being is driven to good actions from within, love in the human being's heart flares up and he feels that he enters into a bond with Me, the eternal Love.... For now he is incessantly urged to ascend.... What once had come between him and Me melts away, only the flame of love remains, which unites with the fire of eternal love.... and emits a bright light. The recognition of My love is no longer so impossible for the being, even though I will never be able to be completely fathomed.... Nevertheless, My fundamental being becomes comprehensible for the being because it recognizes the same substance in itself as soon as it has changed itself into love and, because with this realization, a brightest light shines at it at the same time, but its eyes will only be able to bear it when the soul has entered the kingdom of light, where the deepest knowledge it once possessed before its fall, is made accessible to it again....

Amen
