4649 "I will not leave you orphans...." (John 14)

May 24, 1949: Book 53

"I will not leave you orphans...." I will be your father, to whom you may come in every need of body and soul.... I will stand by you with advice and help.... I will take over all your worries, for your body and your soul; I will guide all your steps.... I will always be with you so that you will never be alone and feel abandoned.... I will not leave you orphaned.... Consider this word of Mine. Can you have a more comforting assurance for your life's journey? Must not all worries and cares fall away from you if you remember these words, that you are constantly certain of My protection and My love? Whatever may come your way, you need not fear anything in the certainty that no burden lies on you alone but that I will help you carry it or even take it off you completely if it is good for you. My word has to be enough for you, and if you show Me all your childlike love you will also be filled with rock-solid faith, and then you will no longer feel orphaned and abandoned, then you will be aware of My presence and you will be completely without worry. And then you will also be able to hear Me through the voice of the spirit, for once I am present to you and you are aware of it, I will also express Myself and the ear of love will hear Me.... Be blessed if you receive My word, then feel like My children to whom the father lovingly speaks, and know that you will then be free from all worries, for where I am and take care of you as father you can completely leave yourselves to Me and only occupy yourselves with yourselves, i.e. do the work on your soul.... You can use all your strength for active neighbourly love, for spiritual work and be active for Me and My kingdom in My name, then everything earthly will take care of itself for you, because I am the one Who walks invisibly beside you and does for you what is incumbent upon you. Just believe it, don't doubt it and know that every promise by Me will come true if you have first fulfilled the conditions I attach to it. And thus I only require your true childlike love in order to take you into My special care as a father, in order to consider you as My true children in such a way that you can travel your earthly path free from all worries. I demand faith in Me and love for Me, and you will truly feel My fatherly care and constantly be aware of My presence, for I don't want to leave you orphaned, I want to come to you and take abode with you so that you will hear My voice and constantly remain united with Me....

Amen
