Many people are indeed called to serve God, yet only a few people respond to God's call, and these few are therefore the chosen ones to whom God gives a task which is tremendously important and who are therefore showered with divine grace. For they consciously give themselves to God and are therefore easily guided by Him because they offer no resistance to His divine guidance. For they believe in God and eagerly endeavour to fulfil His will. But God's will is to proclaim the truths of faith to people.... It is God's will that a link should agree to receive His word, to build the bridge from earth to the beyond, and as such He would accept every person who would like to offer himself to Him out of love for his fellow human beings. For He needs many labourers for His vineyard. However, the will of man usually strives against the divine will and so only a few will agree to work for Him.... So only a few are chosen, i.e. only a few receive God's grace so obviously that it is recognized as grace. And this explains why people cannot really imagine which forces are at work in the creation of these writings, i.e. why they express themselves in such a way that the result can be visible to all people. Whatever God gives and in whatever form, it will always remain incomprehensible to people as long as they do not fulfil such a task, which is a conscious service in love, but which can never be expected of a person who is in the midst of earthly life. Even if God calls him to spiritual activity.... he will not hear the call.... And if he hears it, he will not want to give up the earthly world and therefore will not be able to answer the call. Only someone who surrenders everything will be chosen to work for the lord, for he must listen within and can only do so if nothing ties him to the earthly world anymore, if he fully surrenders his will and submits himself to God for constant guidance. He is now constantly looked after by the beings who take care of him on God's behalf, and his unrestricted devotion to God now earns him a gift of grace of incomprehensible value.... He is taught without interruption, he is given a light so that it shall shine far and wide. Thus he has now become a mediator between God and people who, in their blindness and stubbornness, are no longer able to hear the voice of God within themselves and who nevertheless need active help, whose soul also sighs for redemption.... A single person who offers himself to God for service can have a tremendously beneficial effect for humanity, for whom the lord chooses He also provides with His grace and strength to a great extent, so that he may be an efficient labourer in His vineyard, so that he may provide help in love where it is needed....

Amen
