0488 Collecting earthly goods obstacle....

June 28, 1938: Book 10

Any service rendered to the lord.... be it to spread His teaching or to instruct the erring, will be pleasing to the divine saviour, for every serving heart is a willing child of God, and it therefore fulfils its earthly task with all zeal. Whereas humanity is only concerned with acquiring earthly goods, an emptiness will soon make itself felt there, which really characterizes the vanity of the world.... Every earthly gain is limited, transient and completely worthless for eternity. But whoever serves here on earth will soon discover a realm that is inexhaustible in wisdom and everywhere reveals the divine creator. Poor people will find no joy in spiritual activity, the world gives them completely what they desire, they walk the path on earth in complete ignorance but are fully satiated with earthly pleasures and do not demand any enlightenment for the time of their earthly existence which could curtail their worldly enjoyment. If earthly advantage were to be derived from such, then they would also become followers of Christ's teaching for the sake of it.... I.e. outwardly they are often regarded as the most zealous representatives of the word of God, yet they do not associate spiritual thinking with this pure word of God in the slightest.... but their position, their existence and their sense of acquisition are always the only decisive factors. But where this should be put on the back burner, people prefer to give up their faith with a light heart.... However, any progress in the spiritual, no matter how small, must become invalid if man's interest is solely focussed on the acquisition of earthly goods. Yet such people will still be given the most powerful and varied advice so that they will learn to recognize the futility of collecting earthly goods. But then these people will have to make great efforts in order to also make progress in the spiritual realm in a short time, which should make their stay in the beyond easier. For the lord cares for all.... He does not forget those who walk in darkness.... He also wants to give knowledge to those who are all too much children of the world.... if only they pay attention to these signs and receive everything from the father's hand in good will.... then it will be a blessing for them and they will increase the number of those for whom eternal life has been prepared through Christ our lord.....

Amen
