0332 God’s blessing – earthly and spiritually....

March 15, 1938: Book 8

There is no blessing from God for this world if man does not turn to the heavenly Father asking for it. For every action for earthly life already has it's blessing in itself in the fulfillment of bodily needs, and no farther blessing can be expected for eternity, because every action on earth is worthwhile in itself.... Only when man is able to separate the earthly activity from the spiritual, will he appreciate the difference, which lies in the blessing from the heavenly Father.

Every event, no matter how small, upon which the blessing is implored from above and which is begun with the same, bears it's fruits both on earth and in eternity. For there is a significant difference between blessed and unblessed activity.... A thought sent to God let the spiritual beings protecting man, take care of the human child immediately and guide him well and give him advice. And so a beginning, on which God's blessing rests, will not easily fail, and also the corresponding spiritual activity will be accompanied by success, since it is the most important thing assigned to the earthly being....

Therefore, always turn to the heavenly Father, and do not start anything without having recommended yourself to His grace. And you will gain priceless goodness.... your earthly activity will be secured for you, and the Lord will also take care of your spirit and bless it as well so that it will be promoted for eternity.... In His name you will succeed in every work, and you can go through life untroubled, because the blessing of God keeps away physical worries, and you will become stronger and stronger in the spirit....

Amen
