Creator vs. creature, game on

God created the universe and everything in it each as a means to delight man and as a way to interact with him, amusing each other and thereby making each other happy.  This is the game of God, but it can only occur if the creature lives in the Divine Will.

This was the reason why Our Love, Our Light, Our joys, Our Power and Beauty gushed out all together, and overflowing outside of Our Divine Being, they spread the table before the one whom, with so much love, We had formed with Our creative hands, and generated with Our very breath. We wanted to enjoy Our work, see him happy of Our own happiness, embellished with Our beauty, rich with Our richness; more so, since it was Our Will for Us to remain close to the creature, to operate together and to amuse Ourselves together with her; and games cannot be played from a distance, but in closeness.
This is why, by necessity of creation and in order to maintain intact Our work and the purpose for which We had created it, the only means was to endow man with Divine Will, which would preserve him just as he came out of Our creative hands; he would enjoy all Our goods, and We were to enjoy because he was happy. Therefore, so that man may return to his place of honor and enter once again to operate together with his Creator, and they may amuse themselves together, there are no means other than his reentering into Our Fiat, that It may bring him to Us triumphantly, into Our arms which are waiting for him to clasp him tightly within Our divine womb, and say to him: ‘Finally, after six thousand years you have come back. You have gone wandering, you have experienced all evils, because there is no good without Our Fiat. You have experienced enough, and have touched with your own hand what it means to go out of It; so, never go out of It again, and come to rest and enjoy what is yours, because in Our Volition everything was given to you.’ Therefore, my daughter, be attentive; We will give you everything if you live always in Our Fiat. Our breath will take delight in breathing over you always, to make Our joys, Our Light, Our Sanctity overflow upon you, and communicate to you the attitude of Our works, that We may keep the little daughter, regenerated by Our Divine Will, always together with Us.”

This is so true that God states that he gains nothing in return from the Creation.  That was to serve man, but it only from man that God receives something in return.  In this God wanted to have a "contest" with man, in giving and receiving and God's joy comes from seeing the creature happy.

I was continuing my round in the Divine Fiat; and as I arrived at the point in which God created man, I thought to myself: ‘Why did He rejoice so much in creating him, which He did not do with all the other things He created?’ And my beloved Jesus, moving in my interior, told me: “My daughter, in creating the whole Creation with such order and harmony, We gave of Our own and were to receive nothing from It. But, in creating man, while giving of Our own, We gave him the capacity to give Us Our very gifts as goods belonging to himself, in such a way that We were to give always; so much so, that a contest was to arise between him and Us – We, in giving, and he, in receiving; he, in giving to Us, and We, in lavishing Our gifts yet more abundantly upon him. This giving and receiving, receiving and giving, opened the feasts, the games, the joys, the conversation between Creator and creature. So, in seeing the littleness of the creature celebrate with Our supreme height, amusing itself, rejoicing, conversing with Us, We felt such joy, such emphasis of love in creating man, that all other created things seemed nothing to Us compared to the creation of man. And if all of them seemed beautiful to Us and worthy of Our works, and Our love ran in all created things, it was because they were to serve Us to abound in gifts toward man, and from him We awaited the requital of love of all created things.

God's victory in this game comes from the creature giving her will to him.

 

If every turn she gives me her will and takes mine, I amuse myself and I form my game and victory song of having conquered the human volition, I feel myself the little victorious King.

Vol. 36, Dec. 25, 1938

 
The creature wins by going from weak to strong, ignorant to wise and so on.  The creature becomes able to love with God's love God himself.  All of these attributes are as hidden in the Creation and all the acts of Jesus and it is only possible for one who lives in the Divine Will to tear the veils and acquire the prize.
 

 

“Behold therefore, one who does and lives in my Divine Volition breaks the veils of our Power and finds her Creator who loves her powerfully and draws his creature with his Power to make himself powerfully loved, tearing the veil.  She found the sanctuary of the divine power and does not fear anymore, because if [the Creator] is powerful, he is powerful in order to love her and to make himself loved.  And loving with powerful love, [the creature] plays a game and breaks the veil of the divine wisdom, of goodness, of mercy, of love and of justice, and finds as so many divine sanctuaries that wisely love her, and with a goodness most tender and excessive united to mercy unheard of.  They love her, [and she] finds the love regurgitating that immensely loves her, and being (that) the Divine Being orders that he loves with justice, and the creature passing from one sanctuary to the other, not outside but inside of these veils, she feels the reflections of her Creator and she loves him wisely, with goodness and tenderness, united to mercy, that her God not having need of, he turns it to the good of all the generations, and she feels the love that regurgitates in her bosom, oh, how she would like to melt into love in order to love him!  But justice conserving her gives her, for how much it is possible for a creature, the just love and the confirmation in life.

“My daughter, how many things these veils hide of our divine qualities, but it is given to no one to break these veils if not to one who does and lives in our Volition.  She alone is the fortunate creature who doesn’t see her God veiled but as he is in himself.

It is only with living in the Divine Will that this game of God can have it's fullness and Jesus has stated that his first victory was with the Virgin Mary.  In looking at what this game looks like Mary describes what transpired between her and God in the second day of her narration.

So, listen to Me, my beloved child.  As soon as the Divine Fiat poured Itself over my human seed in order to prevent the sad effects of sin, the Divinity smiled, It put Itself in feast in seeing, in my seed, that human seed, pure and holy, just as it came out of Their creative hands in the creation of man.  So, the Divine Fiat took the second step in Me, by carrying this human seed of mine, purified and sanctified by It, before the Divinity, that It might pour out in torrents upon my littleness in the act of being conceived.  And the Divinity, recognizing in Me Their creative work, beautiful and pure, smiled with satisfaction, and wanting to celebrate Me, the Celestial Father poured upon Me seas of power; the Son, seas of wisdom; the Holy Spirit, seas of love.  So I was conceived in the interminable light of the Divine Will; and in the midst of these divine seas, as my littleness could not contain them, I formed gigantic waves, to send them back as homage of love and glory to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. 

And the Trinity was all eyes upon Me; and so as not to be surpassed by Me in love, smiling at Me and caressing Me, sent Me more seas, which embellished Me so much, that as soon as my little humanity was formed, I acquired the enrapturing virtue of enrapturing my Creator.  And He truly let Himself be enraptured; so much so, that between Me and God it was always feast.  We denied nothing to each other - I never denied anything to Them, nor did They.  But do you know who animated Me with this enrapturing power?  The Divine Will, which reigned in Me as life.  The power of the Supreme Being was mine, and therefore We had equal power to enrapture each other. 

The Virgin Mary in the Kingdom of the Divine Will, Day 2

Here we see that God initiates the game by pouring out seas of graces over the creature and the creature attempts to respond by sending back to Him that which she has received.  But God will never be out done and sends out even more.  And so is the game played between God and man.  A game where both sides can claim victory and both sides conquer over the other.



With one who lives completely in my Divine Volition, Its love is so great as to transform the actions of the creature, and an exchange of life takes place between God and her; an exchange of actions, of steps, of heartbeats. God remains clasped to the creature, and the creature to God; they become inseparable beings, and in this exchange of action and of life, the game is formed between Creator and creature – one makes oneself prey to the other. And in this becoming prey to each other, they play in a divine manner, they make each other happy, they make feast, and God and the creature sing glory, they feel victorious because no one has lost, but one has conquered the other. In fact, in my Divine Will no one loses – losses do not exist in It. Only of one who lives in my Will can I say that she is my amusement in Creation, and I feel victorious in lowering Myself to let Myself be conquered by the creature, because I know for sure that she will not be opposed to letting herself be conquered by Me. Therefore, the flight in my Will be always continuous.”
