(Can God suffer?) God’s love.
27. September 1948. B.D. NR. 4444.
He who announces himself to you out of extreme great love, he woos you with all persistence, and he does not give you up, because you are his for eternity. His love is unchangeable; but it is also law in itself, i.e., only love can join love, and since God is eternal love himself, he also longs for love and for that reason seeks to shape all his creatures to love, so that he can unite himself with them. And therefore he seeks to win the love of his creatures and has no other aim for ever, because the unification in love means happiness for the creature and also constantly increases the happiness of God. God is perfect and as perfect being able to give unlimited happiness, but as he also the other way round wants to receive such from his creatures, which have come out of his love power. But to prepare happiness always presupposes love. When God therefore longs for the love of his creatures, because he wants to give himself to them, the missing of love must also limit giving love, therefore although it cannot decrease, its power is still limited, what also means decreased happiness – with the fullness of divine love only then worth mentioning, when almost all creatures turn away from him, therefore refuse their love to him – a state, which has occurred in creation at the end of a redemption period. (28.9.1948) Then an incomparable longing takes the place of happiness, which is indeed not, as on earth, sorrowful, however triggers increased will to help and extreme great mercy. God can never suffer, the increased distance of his beings from him will however result in increased power development, therefore the love of God will constantly woo the love of his creatures, because he does not give them up, even so eternities pass over it until they turn towards him in love. A state of suffering would only then occur when – what once took its start out of the love of God, would be irretrievably lost to his opponent – what however is never possible, because the fullness of divine love lets nothing get lost, indeed even wins his opponent himself, even so in endless far time, for which humanly no estimation is anymore possible. That the love of God ever decreases, is completely eliminated, because love is something so powerful that it forces everything and the power of divine would be enough to make his creatures immediately inclined to towards him, if he wanted to let it have an effect in all fullness. But his happiness increases, if his creatures themselves come to him and offer him their love. And for that reason he only influences those in the lowest degree, always seeking to stimulate the will that it pushes towards him. If the will of man turns away from God, then also the love power of God lets up, but even so does not give him up. The wooing about the love of his creatures is likewise an act of happiness, what is indeed understandable to men only then, when they themselves stand in reciprocate love, which will also never stop to woo for the love of the other. Fulfilled love is happiness, but love not reciprocated a state of loneliness, which has an effect as powerlessness or as increased power production – according to the strength of love, why the beings of the kingdom of light can have an effect continuously, although they often meet with resistance from the side of men – because they are filled with love and also none-reciprocated love is no diminishing of their power, but only increased stimulation to activity. Men on earth still need supply of power, which is sent to them through love and for them lack of love therefore also means lack of power and activity urge, therefore felt as state of suffering. But the consciousness remains with man any time that the love of God is secure for him, that the love of man always finds reciprocation, if it is meant for him, and that his love is true happiness for everyone who desires it. Amen. B.D. NR. 4444.
