8125 The knowledge of the nature of God is necessary....
March 14, 1962: Book 86
Great is the power of Him who created you.... His love is endless and His wisdom unsurpassable.... Always remember Him so that you make contact with Him yourselves, so that you always send your thoughts out to Me, Who longs for your return and truly also uses My power, love and wisdom to enable this return to Me. If you humans imagine your God and creator as a supremely perfect being, if you can believe with conviction that this supremely perfect being wants to be your father, then you will also give up your inner resistance which kept you separated from Me for an infinitely long time.... you will try to establish the right relationship with Me, the relationship of a child with its father.... and as weak little children you will appeal for My protection and My help when you are in need.... But you will also feel love for Me, you will trustingly come to your father and thus also hand yourselves over to Me, and then you will no longer want to give Me up either, because I Myself now hold you, because My bond of love embraces you, which you will no longer loosen either. But this requires the knowledge of My supremely perfect nature.... You shall learn to love Me and therefore you must first know that I Myself am love; you should not fear Me as a punishing God but love Me as a faithful, caring father.... Only then will you enter into the right relationship with Me, you will voluntarily give yourselves to Me and you will have completed the return which is the purpose and goal of your earthly life.... And therefore I seek to prove My power, My love and My wisdom to you humans time and again.... If you get into trouble I will always lead you out of it, because nothing is impossible for Me to achieve.... And I also constantly send you evidence of My love by also preparing joys for you which you should always consider as a gift from Me.... You can always know that you are safe in My care, for I truly recognize what you need spiritually and physically, and I will also give it to you as soon as you have surrendered to Me, as soon as you establish the bond with Me through heartfelt thoughts, through prayer and loving activity.... And then you will constantly be allowed to experience evidence of My love, wisdom and might, because I only want to gain your love through this, because I want to awaken in you the desire for union with Me and then your purpose of earthly life will also be fulfilled as soon as you establish the intimate bond with Me.... As soon as you devote yourselves as children to the father and completely merge into His will. Then you will no longer live in spiritual darkness, you will be permeated by Me Myself with My light of love, I will be able to speak to you in a heartfelt bond and your love will become increasingly more inflamed and there will be no more darkness in your hearts. As soon as you recognize Me as a God of love, wisdom and might, you will also strive towards Me, and this means that you will also acknowledge Me to Whom you once refused your acknowledgement.... And therefore I will leave no stone unturned during your earthly life in order to give you the right clarification about My nature.... For as long as you do not recognize Me for what I am: as a supremely perfect being Who loves you and wants to win your love.... as long as you do not see in Me your father, Who wants to make His children eternally happy.... as long as you keep yourselves distant from Me.... and that is why I reveal Myself to you in My love, wisdom and power.... and I constantly court your love.... But I will also win it one day, and then you will remain with Me forever....
Amen
