5543 Redemption work.... success through love.... asking for blessing....

November 28, 1952: Book 61

I will bless you for everything you do for Me and My kingdom, yet not for the sake of blessing shall your work be done.... Consider that only a right work of love can be successful and that the work of redemption can only be based on love, otherwise the redeeming strength is missing. Therefore, your work has to be done entirely unselfishly, even though I rate it as the highest achievement, because it concerns the souls of beings which languish in adversity without help. For people on earth are also unhappy beings as long as they live in spiritual darkness, except that they don't recognize their state of misery in earthly life because they only pay attention to earthly things. But you can contribute a lot to give these people light, and I want to bless this effort of yours.... Nothing you do for your fellow human beings out of love shall be done in vain, for a labour of love cannot fade away forever, and even if it is not immediately successful the effect will not be absent, for in a shorter or longer time the human being's soul will remember your love and make use of it. Nothing is lost that is born of love.... But you should always ask for My blessing so that your work will be more effective, because My blessing means a great help.... And I will never deny you the blessing, after all, it is My will that you shall be successfully active, and My blessing will rest equally on your activity as well as on yourselves, for the work for Me and My kingdom shall give you pleasure, you shall not do it with the feeling of having to carry a burden, you shall do it gladly and voluntarily, precisely because love shall impel you to do it, and I will repay your love with My blessing....

Amen
