7607 Good will guarantees approach to God....

May 25, 1960: Book 80

The will to do good also ensures that the human being comes closer to God, that he learns to recognize Him and submits to His will. The spark of love is placed in the heart of every human being, and it is this that determines the course of development of the human being, his spiritual maturity. A person can be of good will from his youth, he can prove to himself and his environment that he is of good will to help if he complies with his inner urge.... if he allows himself to be guided by his conscience. And he can now also certainly come to a certain spiritual realization very soon.... he will learn to recognize God and seek to approach Him, and God will meet him because He knows about the human being's good will. And this is the secret of love.... Eternal love powerfully attracts the person who nourishes the spark of love within himself, who is therefore of good will. And this person will then also recognize the love with which God is inclined towards him, he will recognize God in everything that surrounds him, in what happens and in what concerns him.... He will surrender to Him and of his own accord do what is God's will: he will live in love and awaken his spirit.... and he will mature in his soul. Thus it only requires good will to achieve the aim on earth for the purpose of which the human being lives. And even if he initially knows nothing more about it.... the realization comes to him of its own accord because the spark of love is active in him and thus awakens the spirit in him to life. Then he has emerged from the initially dead state and becomes active himself in God's will. And God will now give him the task which the human being declares himself willing to fulfil, consciously or also unconsciously, for God knows to what extent he will comply with this task and what abilities the human being possesses in order to walk on earth for blessing. And the human being offers Him no resistance because his will is good and he completely submits himself to God's will. This devotion to God is the most beautiful thing in life, for then it relieves the human being of all responsibility, it gives him inner peace and joy, it leads him ever closer to God Who now draws him in turn, Who does not leave his side and Who protects him against all attacks by the enemy of his soul. And then it will truly also be easy for the human being to fulfil his earthly task, he will not need to use great force in order to acquire the kingdom of heaven, the yoke will be gentle for him and the burden light, for he is of good will. And his love for God and his neighbour grows daily and constantly fills him with more strength to be able to accomplish everything that is required of him, both spiritually and earthly. Then he will also have entered into the right relationship, he will then associate with God like a child with its father, and the child will feel the father's love and walk through earthly life in peace with God.... it will also know that its true home is not earth but that it will return home to its father's house after its death, because the father draws His child in His love until it has found its way home to Him...._>Amen
