1940 "As you measure, so shall you be measured...."

June 5, 1941: Book 28

A full measure will be granted to the one who does not measure himself anxiously when it comes to alleviating his fellow human being's hardship. For if he is driven to do so by the love of his heart, if he does so without the slightest self-interest, he is also entitled to receive divine love, and this is truly not limited.... God will always want to give, only the human being has to make himself worthy of the divine gift and do the same, i.e. also be willing towards his fellow human being. But anyone who worries that he might deprive himself and therefore only meagrely measures out to his fellow human being has no need of God's gift and will be treated with utter contempt, for this is divine justice. Man is very often offered the opportunity to be lovingly active so that he can make himself worthy of the attention of divine love, because without this man remains a miserable creature, and even if he outwardly boasts in self-conceit, because if he does not have divine love he will walk restlessly and dissatisfied on earth, because he lacks the most precious thing when he lacks love. And he will not come into contact with his fellow human beings either, since only love connects everything. Anyone who does not like to give must expect to lose all his possessions one day, for they will be taken from him by force majeure, which is only a means of training him to love, since he can only receive if he gives away what is dear to him. Anyone who shares his possessions with his neighbour, who is always willing to give, will visibly feel the divine grace, for God will fulfil His promise and everything that is willing will receive the blessing of this promise; he will be allowed to receive unlimitedly, he will never need to worry about what the coming day will bring him. For God Himself will always be there where humanity is in spiritual or physical need. God wants to hand out, and He blesses all those who are already so mature through love that they gladly renounce that which is seemingly indispensable for earthly existence, for God will richly reward those what they do out of love for their fellow human being....

Amen
