2879 Forbearance and humility....
September 12, 1943: Book 37
Greatest forbearance and humility is required to be able to receive My love and grace, to be taught by Me Myself.... in order to be able to hear My word in the heart.... People who want to work for Me on earth should be patient and humble, for in this way they testify to their love for Me, that they are full of love for their fellow human beings and do not look down on them in arrogance, who are likewise My living creations. And only then can I Myself work through them because I Myself am extremely patient and because I walked the path on earth in profound humility on which you are supposed to follow Me.... Thus, like Me, you must make an effort to be patient and approach your fellow human beings with humility of heart. You must, as it were, woo their love in order to win them over for yourselves, you must regard them as friends who are misguided and therefore patiently try to instruct them where possible. You must remain humble and not exalt yourselves in heart over them as they walk in error.... But you must always remember that you are to stand up for the truth. Once you have recognized the truth and received it directly from Me you must hold on to it, and you must not allow yourselves to be intimidated by counter-talk. Mindful of My love, you must try to convey to your fellow human beings what you have recognized as beneficial for the soul, for then you will also practice love.... And if you remain faithful to your conviction, if you do not bow down to error, you can nevertheless remain humble in heart. But no one can demand the surrender of your conviction in order to test your humility.... no one can deny your forbearance if you want to help the truth to its right again and again. But where this truth is not accepted, where the spiritual resistance is too great, do not try to force anything.... The truth must speak for itself, and the truth also speaks for itself as soon as the human being examines the truth with a serious will.... And therefore humility of heart is again necessary, the deep bowing of the creature before the creator and the prayer for help, which again testifies to humility.... then he will also be seized by My grace and he will recognize.... I give My grace to the humble, and only the humble attain the truth. Yet the truth also obliges you to defend it. Humility towards Me therefore need not be violated, even if the bearer of truth does not bow down to his fellow human being who walks in error.... However, you should always and constantly practice patience and always imagine My earthly path, which required excessive patience and immense love. Be gentle and patient and you will also be successful with those who initially oppose you.... For gentleness and patience are signs of love, and love is strength. And love conquers all opposition because no power can withstand it....
amen
