6191 Only love is valued....
February 17, 1955: Book 67
It is love alone which I value, because everything that has love as its principle has to be good before My eyes. And I will also bless everything which, driven by love, is undertaken.... and it will not harm people but only benefit the soul, although no earthly advantage will emerge. Whatever is undertaken with love must also always correspond to My will, for it will not be done without Me, Who is love Myself.... Yet it is only ever to be understood as giving, wanting to please, sacrificing love, not the love which wants to possess, which as self-love can also be the cause for actions and undertakings of all kinds.... You must make this distinction and seriously examine yourselves as to what kind of love moves you, if you intervene in a helping way, as it were, if you feel prompted to act and ask yourselves whether it is right before Me.... whether you may expect My blessing for your actions.... Only unselfish love is ever decisive, for selfish love belongs to the world, it is not My share and therefore cannot be blessed. I tell you this because much is done under the guise of love and because this, too, is an activity of My adversary who, as it were, appears under a mask in order to kindle and strengthen selfish love.... For this is the opposite of pure unselfish love which unites you with Me because it is divine. Anyone who seeks his own advantage is not yet Mine, even if it appears as if the person sacrifices himself.... I see the heart, I recognize every impulse in it; therefore the human being must examine himself whether he wants to give or whether he wants to achieve something. In the first case he can undertake everything without worry, My blessing will always rest on him and I will not leave him.... He will be strengthened and My help will visibly be granted to him, because then I Myself will be in him and then I will truly also guide him correctly, order his thoughts and give him the strength to master his task.... If he is only driven by unselfish neighbourly love he can undertake everything and My blessing will be assured to him. However, every selfish thought is known to Me and I want to warn people against it, because they cannot deceive Me....
Amen
