7181 Value of each soul....

August 3, 1958: Book 76

And if only one soul finds its way to Me through you, a work of salvation has already been accomplished which you cannot measure in its value. Again and again I place the erring souls on your heart, again and again I advise you to make their hearts more compliant through loving intercession, and whatever can happen on My part so that your work will not be in vain will truly happen, for I love every single soul and rejoice when it finds its way home to Me. And if you have the serious will for this redeeming activity it will also be blessed; again and again souls will be led into your path, and even if they are not immediately willing to accept your teachings the word you proclaim to them on My behalf can nevertheless fall on good ground, it can take root in the heart and then sprout up when a ray of love touches that heart which it does not refuse.... I truly would not keep highlighting your vineyard work like this if success were not to be recorded again and again. And since I wrestle for every single soul with My adversary so that it will still turn its will to Me before the end, I need you as mediators whom I use to address the souls. The path has to be shown to them, they have to know about a God Who wants to be their father and they have to know about this God Who came to people as saviour in Jesus Christ in order to open the gate to beatitude for them. Jesus Christ is therefore the path they must enter. And thus you shall inform people of the divine redeemer, in Whom I embodied Myself out of love for My living creations, which were otherwise eternally lost. Admittedly, it will be increasingly more difficult to win souls for the kingdom the closer the end is. And yet, no effort must be spared.... everything that can be described as vineyard work must be done: My word must be proclaimed, which is conveyed to you from above in all purity and which therefore also has the strength to favourably influence a soul if its resistance is not too great and My adversary thus still stands between Me and the human being, because the latter allows this himself through his will. Yet little success can be expected where the 'word' no longer has the revitalising strength, where it can no longer be called the 'living water' which flows forth from My eternal fountain of love, where one can only speak of a dead christianity, where My spirit is no longer effective and therefore no awakening to life is possible either. At this time people are in great need who are still of good will. And you should take care of these people, even if they reject you at first because they don't expect anything better from you than what they recognize as worthless. And if only one soul comes to life this is a great gain, for then it will also enter My service, it cannot help but want to pass on the same what makes it happy itself and what it has recognized as truth. Therefore, don't get tired and don't let your failures hold you back from your spiritual activity. Countless souls in the beyond receive what a person on earth might reject, and these souls are eternally grateful to you that they were fed and watered with the bread of heaven, with the water which flows forth from the original source itself.... And thus no work is done in vain which is done for Me and My kingdom, for no grain of My eternal truth can perish, and it will one day nevertheless sprout and bear fruit, because.... what is from Me.... eternally cannot pass away....

Amen
