5574 Igniting the spark of God in man....

January 11, 1953: Book 61

The spark of God in man must be ignited.... And this happens through love. You humans all have the divine spark within you which characterizes you as part of God, yet it is seemingly isolated from Me, for I have placed you as independent beings apart from Me so that you, of your own accord, of your own free will, will seek unification with Me again, because this unification only proves that you are full of the divine spirit through your own will. For I can give you everything but not direct your will, which is free. And only what you accomplish of your own free will makes you divine beings, My image.... Previously you were indeed created by Me in all perfection, yet you had to prove this very perfection by striving for it in free will, and therefore I externalized you as free beings and seemingly isolated you from Me.... And yet you remained inseparably united with Me through the divine spark within you, which was My share.... Now understand: You yourselves, i.e., your free will should only ignite this spark, and then you will also realize that you are not separated from Me but that you yourselves, as part of Me, are indissolubly united with Me.... This realization will spur you on to consciously establish the connection with Me. The spark of God within you flares up and the fire of love which ignited it increases. But love constantly pushes towards the original source of love.... the spiritual spark pushes towards the father-spirit from eternity.... What was placed outside unites with Me again.... The being in free will has become what I achieved but what I could never create in this perfection.

You should awaken the divine spark within you to life, you should carefully nurture and increase what was placed within you.... Love alone achieves this, for love is the fire which ignites the spark of God, love is of divine origin but it is not subject to any compulsion, love is your freest feeling which you can both stifle and revive, love is the binding agent between Me and you which, however, you have to generate yourselves, which cannot be given to you. Love is the evidence of the desire for Me and therefore also the surest means to establish unity with Me. Thus you only need to develop love within yourselves and thereby awaken the spiritual spark within you to life, which will then constantly strive towards Me as My share, which will constantly impel you into loving activity and thus also safely achieve unification with the eternal father-spirit....

Amen
