5622 God's gift of love.... free will.... mercy....

March 11, 1953: Book 62

I don't want to let you become despondent and therefore step into your path again and again with My love and grace.... But you pay no attention to what I offer you and you don't know what you are missing out on. But one day you will think back on it and bitterly regret having rejected what could make you happy forever. For what you can receive in abundance now, what My love would like to bestow upon you unmeasured, you will once be without, and it can only be given to you in a limited way if it is imparted to you by loving beings. But you yourselves have no strength because you have not acquired any strength on earth. Your remorse will be painful when you realize what you have rejected.... Yet I cannot force you to accept My gift of love, I can only send you My messengers again and again to rouse you from the sleep of death your soul is in, even though you are still alive on earth. But soon your earthly life will also be over and then everyone will receive the reward. But I will leave no stone unturned, and where My love is ineffective I have to use more effective means.... a hardship which can still motivate many people to remember Me, to call upon Me for help.... an adversity which cannot be averted by people, which visibly demonstrates a higher power and to which people are therefore at the mercy of grace and disgrace. Where salvation no longer seems possible I still want to intervene in a saving way if I am called upon for help, so that people learn to believe in a God of love and mercy, so that they will henceforth remember Me and bear witness to Me and win people for Me again before the end. I offer every possibility of salvation in order to still help a few people to live, yet soon the time I have granted you humans will be over, the end is near, and soon the time of grace will also be over when I will woo you with love.... Then love will recede and justice will take its place, then I will have to judge what could not be saved.... because then the time will be fulfilled....

Amen
