3429 Blessings of spiritual work.... power supply....

February 6, 1945: Book 44

This is the blessing of spiritual work, that the human being remains connected to God and is constantly a recipient of strength from God. The human being must constantly seek God, he must mentally join Him through prayer of the heart and through loving activity, then he will continue to be spiritually active for himself and for his fellow human beings, and then the strength from God will also continue to flow to him. Spiritual work presupposes love for God and for fellow human beings.... the human being recognizes his own and his fellow human beings' shortcomings, he recognizes God's perfection and seeks to bridge the gap between people and God because he loves God and also his fellow human beings who languish far from God. And every work which is based on love is blessed by God, thus He always supplies the human being with strength so that he can also carry out his soul's work. The person who unites himself with God in heartfelt prayer will never be powerless if this prayer is first meant for spiritual well-being, if the praying person wants to carry out the work for the kingdom of God and needs strength for this. Yet this supply of strength will also strengthen him for earthly work, it will make him able to meet every requirement, because spiritual work, work for the kingdom of God, always remains the actual activity and the human being will never be without strength for it. If the human being wants to be spiritually active, i.e. contribute towards the redemption of erring souls, then his life's fate will always be adapted to this work, i.e. everything that affects him earthly shall spur him on to increased spiritual striving and let him mature his own soul so that he can work all the more successfully on his fellow human being's soul. He will often have to travel his earthly path struggling but he will always have the strength to do so, because he can only achieve victory through struggle. And thus his path of earthly life will not be smooth and thornless. Yet a hand will always stretch out to him which will guide him over paths which are difficult to walk.... God's love will not let him stumble, again and again it will strengthen him and make him capable for every work he has to do on earth. And again and again it draws him to itself.... But whoever remains united with God's love will not be powerless forever, and everything he does, God does through him....

Amen
