I show mercy to all of humanity and want to give them My love.... yet who still respects Me? Only a few strive towards Me, they seek Me and want to live to please Me, they court My love and want to do everything I ask of them. And these are My children.... I am close to them, albeit in a different form for each one. Yet they will always recognize Me and want to serve Me. That is why I dwell among them and take pleasure in those whose thoughts seek Me and who unite with Me in prayer. And thus they shall have an obvious sign of My love so that they will abide in Me and recognize Me as the lord and creator of heaven and earth.... They shall hear My word in all purity and with the word also the certainty that I Myself am with them. This word is a pledge of My love, it testifies to you humans that I dwell on earth again and that I speak time and again to those people who want to hear Me and are devoted to Me in love. And this word is imperishable, just as everything that comes from Me is imperishable. Thus you will recognize by this whether you possess divine or human work, that it outlasts everything and withstands every will of destruction.... And if you now ask yourselves what I demand of you in return, then you can also give yourselves the answer.... nothing but that you give love to all those who cross your path. For with this love you fulfil the first commandment.... You respect Me and recognize Me, you believe in Me, who taught you love and laid down My life for you in love. But in the same way you are to give up what is dear to you, you are to see in Me alone the substitute.... "You shall have no gods beside Me...." You shall desire nothing but My presence, so that I may dwell among you and you may feel My nearness. This is again a commandment to which I do not force you, but which I give you freely, because only love should determine your actions, not My commandment.... The spirit of love should be in you, then you will always think and act in accordance with My commandments. And if love is in you, you will not need any commandments, for I gave them to people who were devoid of all love and disregarded everything that was supposed to earn them My love. Their love was only for the body, for the sake of which they disregarded every commandment. And in order to limit this physical desire, in order to put a stop to self-love, I gave a commandment that they should remember Me on one day, that they should sanctify one day, abstain from all physical labour and live according to My commandment. Working with love and constant thoughts of Me and putting aside one's own physical desires, that is true sabbath sanctification. A person who is filled with love for Me has also overcome matter and no longer strives for the increase of earthly possessions; consequently, he does not desecrate the sabbath through physical labour if he performs it for the benefit and piety of his fellow human being. And everyone who lives according to My will, who strives towards Me and loves Me so dearly that he does not want to contravene My commandments, is a member of My congregation, even if this is not outwardly recognizable. You humans are caught up in error and interpret My commandments in a wrong way.... you act according to the word, not according to the meaning of My words.... well with the best of intentions to serve Me with them; yet this results in misunderstandings and pitfalls which cause many a person to fail, and you do not serve Me as a result. Listen with a loving heart to the voice within, which will certainly guide you correctly if you are for Me and not against Me.... All My commandments shall only kindle love in you to its highest blossom, but if love is in you then you truly do not need My commandments, for then you will act in accordance with love, you will also show love towards your neighbour, you will not harm him in any way, you will subordinate all your thoughts and actions to My will and then you cannot sin, i.e. be unloving. Observe the commandment of love, then you will observe all My commandments.... And if you hand yourselves over to divine guidance, you truly need not fear to think or act wrongly. But whatever you do, it is always your will and your love that is valued, not the deed itself. If you also sanctify the sabbath outwardly, this will also please Me if you believe you are fulfilling My will.... But no one will ever be guilty of sin who does not keep the outward form but inwardly also strives to fulfil My will; he fulfils My commandments because he wants to be for Me and not against Me....

amen
