0486 Will to serve.... awakening of the inner life.... wanting....

June 27, 1938: Book 10

Life's true joy is always only the will to serve, for if the deity demands that you subordinate your will to It, it will thereby give you an activity which will make you exceedingly happy.... for it gives the earthly child the most heartfelt joy to place itself at the lord's service, to renounce all earthly pleasures for His sake and to be able to absorb the teachings of heaven. And so the will to serve will give the earthly child an abundance of gifts, for he who serves God is far above all those who rule on earth. The lord gives His instructions to all creatures and each one carries out the lord's will, yet unconsciously, through the activity which is given to it as a task in life.... However, the human being is not forced to fulfil his earthly task.... it is entirely up to him to freely create his life and in the midst of this life to choose the path to God or not.... whether he wants to serve or does not recognize God and only believes himself to be shaping destiny.... but denies an eternal judge.... The slightest question of thought in good will about the truth will help you on the path of realization, for the lord gives all seekers the right clue. But it will be difficult for those who are completely without faith.... who stifle every stirring of their heart for spiritual realization.... who only see the world and its joys or sorrows and who can never separate their thoughts from the purely earthly. Where there is still a spark in them that longs for truth, where a thought is still able to soar into spiritual regions, the person will not be left alone and his spirit will receive the ray of light that shines into the darkness of the night. Then he will begin to understand everything that has happened to him so far.... He sees his life passing by as a mirror image, and then thoughts awaken in him that are far removed from his actual views.... He scrutinizes and weighs and compares.... And he finds many a true word from the teaching of Christ, which only now becomes understandable to him. The soul now treads a new path.... But just as all seekers are plagued by doubts, a spiritually orientated thought will also be rejected again and again at the beginning until it nevertheless asserts itself and is now firmly accepted in the heart and thus the inner life of the person has awakened to lively activity. Many a step has to be taken again and again, but such a striving earthly child will be supported once it has turned to the question of the supernatural of its own free will. Only the one who rejects everything spiritual cannot be helped so easily, as otherwise free will would be put out of action and therefore a furtherance of the soul could not be achieved. The constant groping and searching for spiritual truth will also make an earthly child receptive for every spiritual strength coming towards him.... Where a person desires to be enlightened, the spark has already been ignited.... It is only a small flame, but it stimulates more diligent research and the power of darkness is broken. Every human being only needs to have taken the first step of their own free will.... to lift his thoughts into infinity with the desire to come closer to the truth.... Then he has broken the spell that kept him bound to earth until then, and from then on his spirit soars into light heights.... You children of the earth only need to want.... everything else comes to you so naturally through God's love and grace that you only ever need to obey the subtle stirrings of the heart, which so surely guides and points you towards the eternal deity.... and if you serve Him you will receive, and that to the same extent as you are willing to serve. For God promises to all who serve Him that they shall one day reign for all eternity....

Amen
