7895 Presence of God.... preparing for the temple of God....

May 19, 1961: Book 82

I want to take abode in your hearts.... I want to be present to you at all times, I want you to desire My presence and therefore also prepare yourselves as a temple in which I can dwell.... And this means that you free yourselves from all impure desires, from all faults and weaknesses, that you shape yourselves into love, because love adorns your heart and thus this now becomes a vessel which can now receive My love and My spirit.... which is and remains a dwelling place for Me Myself, and you will now also experience My presence.... by addressing you Myself and being in constant intimate contact with you. If I can be present to you then you have truly passed your test of earthly life, then you have returned to Me again, from Whom you once voluntarily distanced yourselves.... If I can be present to you, then all your thoughts and aspirations will only be spiritually directed, then you will often dwell with Me in thought, you will hold a dialogue with Me, you will never feel alone again but always be aware of your father's presence and thereby feel inner peace and bliss already on earth, For then earthly burdens and worries will no longer weigh you down, because you hand everything over to Me and are certain that I will take care of everything for you, Who is present to you, Who dwells in you and will truly also faithfully take care of you. Let Me take abode with you and prepare yourselves in such a way that you will show your love to your father from eternity.... Make your heart a temple of God.... shape yourselves into love, because eternal love can only take abode where love is.... because I can only be in My primal element and because I long for your love. But then nothing will be able to separate us anymore, then the child will be united with its father and then it will be allowed to hear Him at all times, it will be able to communicate with the father as it once did when I revealed Myself to My living creations in the word, when they constantly received My emanations and were indescribably happy. And your degree of love during earthly life will also determine the degree of bliss My presence can trigger in you. And when My word resounds in you and you receive the evidence of My presence then this shall stimulate you into ever deeper love, for you receive a delectable gift from the father within you which, again, is only love and shall awaken or deepen love.... And then you shall also prove your love to Me.... You should carry My teaching of love into the world, you should try to encourage your fellow human beings to live a life of love, you should also want to help them to become a temple of God.... You should also awaken in them the desire for My presence and stimulate them to be lovingly active on earth. And you will truly perform works of love which are pleasing to Me.... For I want to take abode in all people, I want to be able to speak to everyone Myself, because then I would have achieved My aim that you humans have changed yourselves into love, that you can now also unite with Me and become blissfully happy...._>Amen
