5573 God's blessing on vineyard work....
January 10, 1953: Book 61
You offer Me a heart full of love if you are willing to serve Me. And thus you can also work together with Me, you are capable of working in My vineyard because it is love which impels you to this work. There are not many people who consciously offer themselves to Me for service.... Consider the people around you who pretend to believe and yet only establish a bond with Me when they have earthly needs. But the extent to which the prayer is directed towards Me in spirit and in truth also determines the value of the bond with Me.... Serious striving also establishes a connection in spirit and in truth.... But people are too earthly bound and I am a foreign concept to them, a concept they have not yet come to terms with through reflection and therefore do not establish a living connection with Me which alone results in spiritual success. Anyone who is only able to commune with Me in silence, who seeks Me in thought and strives to come close to Me, will awaken to life, for he already connects himself with spiritual strength which impels him to continue on the chosen path until the final aim, until unification with Me. This is why only a few people consciously offer themselves to Me as servants in My vineyard, and this is why I bless these few in particular, because I need labourers on earth, people who are in contact with Me and their fellow human beings and can now give or impart to them what they do not yet possess, because I need people who carry out on earth what I Myself would like to do but cannot do, so as not to inevitably lead people to faith. You humans cannot assess how urgent this help is, yet it is an act of love towards your fellow human beings if you supply them with what they lack.... And it is, in turn, a great grace for you if you receive from Me what is helpful to you and your fellow human beings for the salvation of your soul. What shall help you to become blissfully happy has to be supplied to you, and this can only happen if a person consciously unites with Me, opens his heart and receives nourishing food from Me directly.... But he can pass this delicious food on to his fellow human beings if love impels him to help them in spiritual adversity. And I bless him for this will to help, because it is extremely necessary that people are helped who cannot establish contact with Me themselves, thus cannot be fed directly either and yet so urgently need strength for their earthly path in order to reach the final aim for which they are on earth. There are only a few who recognize people's spiritual hardship and want to help, there are only a few who have love and faith and can therefore be taught by Me Myself in order to spread My gospel to the world. But where there is only the slightest will for it I Myself will prepare people and then place them in a field of activity where they can successfully work for Me and My kingdom. And I will keep them with My love, fill them with My strength, give them light, thus knowledge, and protect them from the attacks of the one who is against Me.... Anyone who wants to serve Me stands in love for Me and his neighbour, and this love is the strength which enables him to always fulfil My will.... This love eternally unites him with Me and will always let him think and act as it is My will....
Amen
