4556 Fatherly care for His servants....

February 2, 1949: Book 53

Only a few allow themselves to be taught by Me directly, and I want to be a true father to these few, for I see their will which applies to Me and is willing to do everything for Me.

(3.2.1949) They shall be little burdened by earthly worries, yet for their own sake they will have to endure many adversities but they can also always be certain of My help. And thus the short time will pass until the commitment for Me and My kingdom. But then their work for Me will provide them with ample compensation for what they lack in earthly possessions, for they go about their work with eagerness and are truly living representatives of My word. Whatever your situation in life, you will all experience an upheaval, high and low, poor and rich will be affected by the effects of My appearance through nature, and everyone will shape his further life himself through his attitude towards Me. The hardship will be almost unbearable at first, yet everyone can receive help if he knocks on the right door as a supplicant, if he comes to Me and asks Me for advice and help. But anyone who wants to reshape his life without Me will remain on the ground or rise up with strength from below and quickly ascend. But woe to them, for they have sold their souls for the sake of the short time of life they have left until the end. Anyone who comes to Me will not remain without help, yet the help is of a different kind, because all suffering is also meant to fulfil its purpose of helping the soul to mature, and earthly wellbeing is truly not suitable for this. Yet the fate will be bearable for everyone who walks with Me and always directs his steps towards Me before he engages in worldly activities, which is demanded of him in every way. Therefore do not fear the coming time, you who want to serve Me and also you who believe and pay attention to My word from above, know that My will allows everything to come to pass and that I know well about the hardship of the individual; know that I protect everyone and help them who believe in Me and want to be Mine. And know that the time until the end is not long anymore and that you will experience the end more maturely the more you have gone through suffering which, however, will always be bearable for you because I am with you and will remain until the end, because I can speak to you in the word which will be your source of strength in every spiritual and earthly adversity....

Amen
