7749 Constant feeding of the soul....

November 18, 1960: Book 81

You may draw from the spring and you will never lack the water of life. You need only be willing to seek out the spring and bow down, you need only have the desire to refresh your soul and supply it with strength on its pilgrimage. And the strength will flow into you, for it receives the right nourishment from My spring, it no longer needs to starve, it will always be fed by Me Myself, Who has opened up this spring for it. It is your father's love Who takes care of you that you mature on earth, that you take the path to Me which leads upwards and therefore also requires strength. It is your father's love which leads you to the source, which again and again offers you food and drink and which encourages you to rest at the source and to strengthen yourselves.... For your father's love is concerned about your souls which can only reach the aim if they are supplied with strength. And I want to impart this strength to you because you lack it. I give with full hands, I distribute food and drink without measure, yet I don't force you to accept My gifts of love, I leave it up to you to come to Me and let Me give to you.... But you should also know that you harm yourselves if you don't accept My gift of grace.... you should know that there is no substitute for My word, for the bread from heaven which is nourishment for your soul. You should know that one day you will have to answer for whether and how you have valued the gift of grace which was given to you.... And the word itself will be your accuser.... For the word itself came to you.... I Myself spoke to you and you closed your heart and ear to My word. You must not reject My word, for it is the greatest gift of grace you can be offered on earth, it is the most visible evidence of My love which wants to help you reach your aim on earth. Therefore I Myself come to you in the word, I reveal to you the spring from which the water of life flows unstoppably and refreshes every pilgrim who bends down in order to draw from it. Everyone will be able to draw strength from My word, everyone will be addressed by My word, he will learn about My will, and if he complies with this will then he will not only be a listener but a doer of My word, and he will feel the strength which now flows towards him from Me Myself.... And his soul will be saved, for once it has received the strength from My word it will constantly desire it.... it will come to Me again and again and want to be fed and watered by Me, it will come to My table and take supper with Me.... For now the father can constantly provide for His child and its soul will never need to suffer want. Therefore it is your most important task in earthly life to accept My word, to give Me the opportunity to address you, to unite with Me in prayer, thus to come to the 'source' of strength and now open yourselves full of desire so that I can refresh you.... And now you will be able to draw from the fountain of life, for I do not deny Myself, I give Myself to everyone who only desires My gift of love...._>Amen
