5237 Making arable of the drought desert.... blessing....

October 19, 1951: Book 58

You constantly increase spiritual wealth when you give it away, for you lose nothing but always receive more and more. Spiritual hardship requires help, spiritual hardship consists of drought which allows nothing spiritual to grow and therefore humanity is like a desert in which nothing can flourish. It has to be transformed into fertile soil, good soil has to be supplied to it and the good seed has to be fertilized with water of love.... and it requires the work of faithful servants who make the reclamation of the desert soil their business.... And you are to be these servants to Me, you are to take care wherever there is arid desert in human hearts, you are to supply them with good soil and do everything to make the hearts receptive for the seed which alone can bear good fruit.... for My word, which will have a fertilizing effect where it is willingly accepted. You are in possession of a great deal of seed, use it correctly and be eager labourers for Me, distribute the gifts which are so abundantly offered to you from above; don't be tardy in your activity, for know that the time shall be used when you can still work unhindered for Me and My kingdom. Carry My word everywhere and do not fear that your spiritual wealth could diminish.... The distribution of My gift is the surest guarantee that you will receive abundantly from My hand again what your hand has lovingly offered to your neighbour. Your work will truly not be useless, for the reward for it is everlasting, and one day in eternity you will only be able to measure the value of what you have done on earth out of love for Me and your fellow human beings.... For I Myself bless the work you do for Me and My kingdom. I Myself share out of you and through you all who want to receive My gift from your hand.... People urgently need help, for although they don't feel the spiritual hardship on earth either because it does not have a material effect, it is nevertheless immense and can only be remedied by faithful servants who are devoted to Me, who believe in Me and in every word I convey to them in order to make them suitable for their helping activity. The hardship can be reduced if love is at work, if people know about the hardship of their fellow human beings and are willing to help them, if they give what they themselves possess, if they hand out to the needy in body and soul.... And so that the gifts are accepted with thanksgiving, love must offer them.... The blessing of love is immeasurable, and through love you achieve everything. For it is a strength which never remains without effect. And therefore take care of your fellow human beings and don't leave them in distress, share everything you possess with them if you can help them through it, and above all remember their souls, which often suffer far more hardship than the body.... Bring My word close to them and refresh them with it, and thus increase the spiritual goods, your wealth for eternity....

Amen
