4289 "Create and work while it is still day...."

April 29, 1948: Book 51

"Create and work while it is still day, for the night is coming when you can no longer work...." How close you are to the onset of night, it is the last minutes of the day when you are alive, and you are not aware of the seriousness of it, you are lukewarm in your soul's work and live as if you still have a long time ahead of you. You are mistaken.... night will soon fall and envelop the whole earth in deepest darkness, and you could still achieve an unspeakable amount if you wanted to use the last minutes and seriously prepare yourselves for life after death. You should only think of your souls and pay no more attention to what concerns the body. For only the soul remains, nothing remains for you of earthly goods, of the material world. You already have one foot on the other side, but what will the kingdom be like which will receive your soul? Is it the kingdom of light or that of darkness? Is it day or night for your soul? Where there is light, there is life, but the night is dreadful. And therefore I warn you urgently and speak to you again and again to draw your attention to the great responsibility you bear towards your soul. Don't bring it into an unspeakable adversity which you can still easily avert if you change, disregard everything earthly and only think of fulfilling My will and living a life in accordance with My commandments.... stand by your neighbour in every earthly and spiritual adversity, intervene helpfully where your help is required and always and constantly accept My word which informs you of My will and imparts strength to you to live the life as it is My will. Create and work while it is still day.... it will soon draw to a close and an endless long night will follow from which I want to protect you because I love you.... Listen to the words of My love and take them seriously, so that you will escape the night and a day will dawn for you which will last forever....

Amen
