There can be no redemption for a being which does not submit itself to the divine will. Admittedly, it is true that it is also constantly given indications, the observance of which can lead it onto the right path, if it does not openly resist. There is no other possibility of self-redemption than through the surrender of one's own will, since this has brought about the apostasy from God. As long as the being resists, as long as it believes itself to be stronger, that is, still wants to express itself in opposition, it is impossible to be released from matter. There is no other way to God but to shape oneself into a being of light through service in love.... And serving with love is a conscious submission to the One Who is Eternal Love Himself. The serving person will always do something which is a blessing for his fellow human being. He will try to alleviate hardship, help to bear suffering, he will endeavour to improve his fellow human being's lot, and he will always be of service for him. And all this presupposes love, and consequently he will carry out those works with God, for all actions of love have to unite him with Eternal Love Itself, since God Himself is present in every work of love. And where God is present, no other power has room and authority.... Thus the human being is redeemed from this power if only he is united with God.... And being united with God also means doing everything that God tells him to do. It means complete surrender of one's own will and allowing God's will alone to prevail.... It also means to be completely absorbed in the divine will, to carry out everything that contributes to self-redemption.... to care for the body and soul of his neighbour, and to serve God in deepest love and humility. It will often not be easy for the being to serve where it would rather rule, yet love for God is the driving force behind every service, and this love gives it strength.... For if the human being is inflamed with love for God, divine love shall likewise seize the earthly child, and it will feel this love in an increased desire for Him.... And it serves ever more joyfully the more intimately it is united with God through love....

Amen
