5359 God's help in earthly trouble.... work in the vineyard....

April 9, 1952: Book 59

I will help you in every adversity of body and soul.... Don't doubt this but be firmly convinced that I know about all your worries and gladly take them over, so that you can go about your work without worry, to serve Me and to proclaim the gospel to your fellow human beings, for which I have chosen you. I want to take care of you earthly and spiritually, and My words shall always apply to you: Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.... You shall always find help from Me, but especially when you strive spiritually and endeavour to fulfil My will. I don't want you to worry about your daily needs, I don't want you to look anxiously into the future, neither do I want you to have physical infirmities which prevent you from working for Me and My kingdom.... I want to relieve you wherever possible so that you don't suffer damage to your soul. Yet you must patiently endure the small cross which is still imposed on you, for it will help you enormously and you will follow Me if you take it upon yourselves without grumbling and complaining. I give you the strength for it and always go to your side to help you when you become weak. Therefore do not be despondent, no matter what comes upon you, it is My will and will always be for your good. But as soon as you trustingly turn your gaze towards Me I am also ready to help, for I will not disappoint My children's faith. And I also want you to go through life cheerfully and joyfully, by which, however, I do not mean worldly exuberance but the joyful tranquillity of a person who feels secure in God....

You can also be joyful, for you have found Me and will soon have reached your aim, you can rejoice and be glad, for My sun of grace shines over you and illuminates your earthly existence, it lights up all your ways and awakens you to life.... You need no longer fear death, for you who are Mine will arise to life, and the hour of your departure from this earth will be welcome to you. But until then you shall still be efficient labourers for Me in My vineyard and I will always fill you with strength so that you will be able to do your work for Me and My kingdom. Therefore do not worry but believe and trust in Him, Who is your father from eternity to eternity, and He will truly banish spiritual and earthly adversity because He loves you....

Amen
