2278 Good seed.... field.... weeds....

March 27, 1942: Book 32

The seed that falls on good soil will bear fruit, and therefore it will not be in vain if a person whose heart is capable of love is told of God's work, even if he is still dismissive of it. God's love prepares things that will inevitably shake people's thinking. He knows people's hearts and tries to make them receptive to His later work. And so He first fertilizes the field that is to receive His seed, and He cleanses it of the weeds, which are the distorted teachings of Christ.... the many errors that hinder the good seed from flourishing.... He who has first freed himself from such false teachings will have a heart receptive to the truth from God, and he will be an even more zealous advocate of this truth. For what he receives with his heart, he accepts with full conviction.... It becomes alive in him and is not a dead word, and then he also commits himself to it and all doubt has disappeared from his heart. God's love turns to those people who do not reject Him, and to them He leads His servants so that they speak in His place and make mention of His work. And He blesses their beginnings, and thus He is constantly concerned about those people who still lack realization. But often the mouth of man does little, and then the lord Himself speaks and His voice will be heeded.... But he who is already prepared will also come to realization more easily, and therefore people should work undauntedly on those who are still reluctant but who are of good heart and can be compared to the soil which is to receive good seed so that it bears rich fruit....

Amen
