3959 Love for God.... most delicious gift in return - His word....

January 21, 1947: Book 49

Blessed are those who carry Me in their hearts, who take refuge in Me in all hardships of body and soul and desire My protection and My love. To them I will always be a faithful father.... I repay them a thousandfold for their love for Me, for what I give them makes them blissfully happy for ever.... I come to them Myself in the word.... Again and again I tell you that you have to love Me on earth in order to be loved by Me again and to be richly endowed with My gift of grace which guarantees you eternal life. But if I come to you in the word you must also open your hearts and ears to receive it, and I will constantly encourage you to do so and admonish you to never leave the most delicious gift from My hand unnoticed. It must always remain the most delicious thing you possess on earth, it must be desired by you with hungry hearts if it is not to miss its effect. For I truly offer you nothing shallow, nothing half-finished, and therefore you should not accept it indifferently either but demand it with all the ardour of your heart in the awareness that you will be provided by your heavenly father with the most necessary things you need to attain maturity of soul. Keep to My word and everything earthly will lose its appeal and value for you.... Listen to My voice and the voice of the world will only touch you softly.... Receive strength from Me with the word and you will also be able to meet all earthly demands.... but always strive for Me to be present to you and remain in My word. Make Me the king of your heart, Who takes possession of everything, and be subject to Him in love and reverence.... Then He will rule you in fatherly love, He will declare His will to you, He will reward you royally for your faithfulness and love.... He will speak to you, and His word will make you blessed....

Amen
