5697 Beginning.... eternity.... order.... perfection....

June 13, 1953: Book 62

I am from eternity, and from Me everything took its beginning. It was My spirit that created everything.... My strength of love made creation possible and My wisdom ordered what now emerged from My strength. My first creations, however, were beings, they were images of Myself, in their fundamental substance they were the same as Me, they were the spirit of My spirit, they were beings of utmost perfection, for I had shaped them in My image. But they had a beginning, whereas I am from eternity. Yet what I have created will remain in existence for all eternity, because My spirit cannot eternally pass away and wants to express Itself in these created beings forever and ever.... I wanted to find Myself again in these beings, I wanted them to create and shape freely of their own accord, yet also in the same order, which is My fundamental law from eternity. Yet they had to move freely within this order, thus they had to think and act like Me of their own free will if they wanted to be and remain perfect. What now left this eternal order of Mine certainly lost its perfection but could no longer pass away, even though it had a beginning.... But it must feel its existence to be unlawful, the originally blissful state must change into an unblissful one and this must also be the reason to strive for perfection in order to restore the original state. I Myself have known since eternity about the emergence of My created beings from My order, yet I have also known since eternity about the aim, about the final return and about the inevitable beatitude of everything that has emerged from My strength of love; I know that the light will increase immeasurably; I see the glories of My kingdom making all My living creations happy, I see the emanation of My strength of love into infinity and its return to Me.... I alone know what this means when the spiritual being, which has reached perfection in free will, operates according to My will.... And I therefore pursue My aim according to My plan from eternity.... I lead everything to perfection, I always let new worlds arise, always new creations which are to serve to restore My order from eternity, to lead that which has become imperfect in free will to perfection again, to unlimited beatitude in and with Me....

Amen
