4930 Love for God - love for neighbour.... worker in the vineyard....

July 10, 1950: Book 56

The word of God comes to you and you are thereby in the knowledge of the truth, you are knowledgeable and can instruct your fellow human beings. Thus you are labourers in the vineyard of the lord. Work can be a joy to a person, but it can also be a burden, and the latter when it is carried out reluctantly, when it therefore gives him no pleasure. Working for the lord in His vineyard is a voluntary service, and what is done voluntarily also gives joy, even if the work is hard. To be active for God and His kingdom on earth is the most beautiful work for a person who loves Him. Therefore, the love for God is decisive for the joy the work gives people, and this love for God must express itself in serving neighbourly love. Man must serve God by helping his neighbour in his need. Then deep peace and inner bliss will fill him and he will be a faithful servant to God. What is now offered to you by God shall cause you to be of service to your neighbour, for it is spiritual good which is indispensable for your fellow human beings, which they do not possess themselves and which should therefore be supplied to them. Humanity is poor in this, whereas you possess immeasurable wealth, a treasure which you should constantly increase and with which you can make everyone happy with whom you share yourselves. Then you serve God and your neighbour. And then you will also fulfil the divine commandment of love, and you will be blessed by God Himself, Who has chosen you as His labourers because He knows about your will to work for Him. And therefore you have no cause for discouragement, you have no cause for doubt as long as you receive His word from above which proves His love to you and which you should repay Him with your love.... Be good and helpful towards your neighbour and thereby give Him proof of your love for Him, which will truly be repaid to you....

Amen
