4789 Spiritual mission requires willpower.... love....

November 28, 1949: Book 54

Great strength of will will be required from people who want to work for Me and My kingdom on earth. It is not a game, not an easy activity which you have entrusted to Me.... it is not difficult work as such, yet since it requires all your will you have to use force, you have to wage a constant battle against yourselves, you constantly have to submit your will to Me, you constantly have to set the world back if it still captures your will. You will not be determined in any way, i.e. forced to think, want and act, freely out of yourselves you will have to work for Me and My kingdom for the redemption of erring souls. Yet you will always experience a strengthening of your will if only you ask Me for help.... for the sake of Jesus Christ, Who acquired a stronger will for you through His death on the cross. The temptations approach you ever more strongly, yet you should prove your will even in hours of adversity and always put spiritual work first. It is an important mission which you should fulfil, and not everyone is capable of carrying it out. But as soon as a person can muster a strong will, he will easily accomplish the work. The will alone is decisive, you shall render your services to Me of your own accord, of your own accord you shall help Me where it is necessary to alleviate people's spiritual hardship. I do not appoint you to do this, your heart should long for Me and for My love and therefore constantly strive towards Me, constantly be active for Me. It requires a strong will, but one day I will reward it, as I have promised. But you should not serve Me for the sake of reward either.... Love for Me and the unredeemed shall drive your activity, and if you let the love in your heart ignite into highest fervour then your will will no longer betray any weakness, then you will be active with increased eagerness, because love is the strength which drives you, because love also strengthens the will, because if you work with love you live as followers of Jesus and thus, like Him, have a strong will at your disposal which accomplishes everything it strives for. Strengthen your will through loving activity, and if you nevertheless feel weak then pray and pray directly for strength through heartfelt supplication and intimate dialogue with Me. Then you will truly not fail in your service for Me, then you will work for Me eagerly and joyfully for the blessing of all those whom you take care of in their spiritual need....

Amen
