BD 4444 27.9.1948

(Can God suffer?) Love of God ....

He Who makes Himself known to you out of immense love, He woos you with all perseverance and does not give you up because you have been His for eternity. His love is unchanging but it is also law in itself, i.e. only love can join love, and since God is eternal love Himself He also desires love and therefore seeks to shape all His creations into love so that He can unite with them. And thus He seeks to gain the love of His creatures and has no other goal for ever, because the union in love means beatitude for the creature and also constantly increases God's beatitude.

God is perfect and, as a perfect Being, able to give unlimited beatitude, but conversely He also wants to receive such from His creatures which have emerged from His strength of love. But preparing beatitude always presupposes love. Thus, if God desires His creations' love because He wants to give Himself to them, the deprivation of love must also restrict the giving love, thus, although it cannot diminish itself, its strength will nevertheless be limited, which also signifies diminished bliss .... in the abundance of divine love only then worth mentioning when almost all creatures turn away from Him, thus deny Him their love .... a state which occurred at the end of a redemption period in creation ....

(28.9.1948) Then an incomparable longing takes the place of bliss, which, although it is not sorrowful as on earth, nevertheless brings increased will to help and excessive mercy to release. God can never suffer, yet the increasing distance of His beings from Him will result in increased development of strength, thus incessantly God's love will woo the love of His creatures because He will not give them up, and if eternities pass over it until they turn to Him in love.

A state of suffering would only occur if .... what once originated from God's love would be irretrievably lost to His adversary .... which, however, is never possible because the abundance of divine love allows nothing to be lost, indeed, it even wins over His adversary Himself, albeit in an infinitely distant time for which no estimate is humanly possible any longer. The fact that God's love is ever diminished is completely eliminated, for love is something so powerful that it compels everything and the power of divine love would suffice to immediately make His creatures inclined towards Himself if He wanted to let it work in all its fullness.

But His bliss increases when His creatures themselves come to Him and offer their love to Him. And therefore He only influences them to the smallest degree, always trying to stimulate the will so that it will press towards Him. If the human being's will turns away from God, God's strength of love also diminishes but nevertheless does not abandon him. Courting the love of His creatures is likewise an act of bliss, which is only comprehensible to people when they themselves are in reciprocating love, which will also never stop courting the love of the other.

Fulfilled love is bliss, unrequited love, however, is a state of loneliness, which has the effect of a lack of strength or an increased generation of strength .... depending on the strength of love, which is why the beings of the kingdom of light can constantly work in love, even though they often encounter resistance from people .... because they are filled with love and even unrequited love is not a diminution of their strength but only an increased incentive for activity. People on earth still need an influx of strength which they receive through love and therefore a lack of love also means a lack of strength and urge to be active, thus it is experienced as a state of suffering. Yet the human being remains aware at all times that he is assured of God's love, that the human being's love will always be reciprocated if it is meant for Him, and that His love is true beatitude for everyone who desires it ....

Amen
