5434 Remain with love, then you will remain in God....

July 10, 1952: Book 60

Remain in perpetual contact with Eternal Love by being incessantly active with love and you will always be flooded with strength and be able to work for the blessing of your fellow human beings. To whom God gives an office, He also gives the strength to administer it, yet the supply of strength is dependent on a person's degree of love. But also the allocation of an office has the love work of man as basic condition, from which it is therefore to be seen that love may not be switched off, that love is the first and shall always remain. And therefore you should first endeavour to increase your degree of love, you should take care of your fellow human being's adversity, you should help him spiritually and earthly, you should comfort the sad, lift up the despondent, strengthen the weak, you should do everything that helps to reduce suffering and, with loving, kind encouragement, help your fellow human being to endure suffering, who will be lifted up by your love, thus always feel the strength of love. Only in this way will you maintain the connection with eternal love, only in this way can it fill you more and more and radiate its spirit upon you, only in this way will you also be permeated by the strength which enables you to carry out the work in the Lord's vineyard until your hour has come when God calls you to work in the spiritual kingdom. As long as you live on earth you can increase the degree of love yourselves, for you are not lacking vitality which you should use to work with love. In the spiritual kingdom, if you are not yet mature, you lack the strength to do so, and therefore your fate is very difficult; on earth, however, you have complete freedom and can act as you please, for the strength to do so is at your disposal. Use it well, that is, only do good, do not waste your vitality on evil deeds and do not let it be unused for one day you will bitterly regret not having used your strength to do what is right and pleasing to God.... And remember that you draw God Himself to you as soon as you practise love, for in every work of love lies God Himself.... God is love, and therefore you should live with love so that you live in God, the Eternal Love.... But then God Himself will also be in you and fill you with His strength, which can manifest itself physically and spiritually but will always help you to ascend. For if you are physically filled with strength you will likewise use it to work with love, because God Himself is now active in you, because He impels you to give love.... to radiate what is within you. And your union with God will be indissoluble, for that is the strength of divine love, that it chains everything to itself with irresistible power that is filled by it, that therefore man can never ever separate himself from eternal love when he has once united with it, when his nature has changed to love. Then he has become perfect and no longer needs the school of the spirit on earth, then he will be called away by eternal love and now be allowed to dwell in its proximity, constantly permeated by its strength and be unspeakably happy, for now he can work in God's will, with His light and His strength....

Amen
