4152 Harvest.... reapers.... God as teacher....

October 25, 1947: Book 50

Spiritual striving should unite you and no longer allow separation. Common experience shall let you mature, and everyone shall strive upwards out of innermost impulse, everyone shall feel as God's agent who has a mission to fulfil and ask God for strength and grace to be able to carry out this mission according to His will. And you will find plenty of work if you place yourselves to His service, for He needs willing labourers to cultivate a field which shall bear abundant fruit. He needs people for sowing, just as He needs reapers for the time of harvest, who serve Him and work diligently. If God has chosen you, be aware of this honour and make yourselves worthy of it. For it is a very special grace to be allowed to receive His word which prepares you for this mission, which makes you knowledgeable and able to pass this knowledge on to your fellow human beings. Therefore be aware of this gift of grace and accept with gratitude what God's love offers you, but also fulfil His will which is made known to you through His word. Every spiritual conversation will benefit you, it will result in increased knowledge for you, and this knowledge will make you happy, for it is offered from above, from God Himself, Who instructs His servants to teach you and Who reveals Himself to you as a teacher, takes you into His school and imparts divine wisdom to you. If He Himself instructs you, you will be far from all error and the truth will flow to you in purest form, for His love is exceedingly great, His wisdom is unfathomable and His might unimaginable. But you can notice love and wisdom and omnipotence in every announcement and therefore be happy that His nature is revealed to you and that you possess the ability to grasp what His spirit announces to you. And therefore appreciate this gift of grace, make yourselves worthy of it, do not become lukewarm and indifferent but desire it with all your heart and receive it with gratitude, then your spiritual striving will bring you blessings, you will progress in your development and surely reach your aim.... complete union with the eternal Love Which wants to win you for eternity....

Amen
