True worship.... serving in love....

Joyful service in love is the true service of God, but only this is to be understood by it. Every human being is God's creature, and when one serves another, he also shows love to the creator, as it were, and serves Him.... The spiritual world can be incessantly active if access to the human being is opened up to it through active love, and can now also work in love again, i.e. hand out what it receives from God and receive again what it wants to hand out. For serving in love is also the first commandment in the beyond, but it is also a truly joyful activity, just as on earth serving in love likewise triggers the happiness of inner contentment and true joy in people. Labouring charity is therefore true service to God. Where love is lacking, serving God is inconceivable, and therefore everything else that is otherwise understood by the word service to God must be rejected. Anyone who wants to serve God can only do so by wanting to please Him, by doing what has been God's will since eternity.... that he lives in love and thereby confirms his origin, that he therefore recognizes his origin from God and now also endeavours to act as God Himself acts.... that he constantly gives love to every creature of God. Then he is of the same will as God because he has become what God Himself is.... love.... And then he can also do the same thing that God does.... to radiate His power of love to the creatures so that they can exist.... This only becomes understandable when the spiritual life is taken into consideration, which is independent of the life of the flesh, the physical shell. This spiritual life can only awaken when love becomes active in the human being, for then the human being receives God's emanation of love and now shapes himself according to divine will. In the same way, the being to whom the human being's love is directed is thereby also prompted to work in love.... For love awakens counter-love, and again a heart opens itself to God's emanation, and this becomes effective in the human being as increased love, which returns to God again, thus demanding that which was created by God to return to its creator....

This is the original purpose of the being, to work in the spiritual world in the closest union with God. It has distanced itself from God, but God does not let anything fall that has emerged from Him and always seeks to guide it towards Himself again. Every work of love is an approach to God and consequently a serving in love is the original purpose of the beingness, because serving in love is blissful and at the same time a ruling in the purest form.... It is a redirection of strength, a conveying of that which emanates from God, which is received by the spiritual being full of light and supplied to the spiritual being hungry for light.... This divine emanation, however, is love, which can now be received by the spiritual being, but which can also emanate unnoticed. If it is received by the being, then this expresses itself in such a way that this again becomes active in love, and thus the power of love increases perpetually, and every truly loving man contributes to the fact that the power returns again to God. If a person now serves another in love, he also offers his love to the creator from eternity, for man is the image of God, he is a divine product and therefore may not be lost. God's love belongs to every single creature and He tries to convey His love to them so that they recognize Him, and for this He needs a person who educates his fellow human beings to love, for only through love does man come closer to God. He should preach love and practice love.... by practicing love he establishes contact with the eternal love Itself, and thus he clears the path for the beings in the beyond to reach people so that they can now work directly. This is a work of mercy which should not be disregarded.... He also serves these beings by facilitating their work. And if someone connects his fellow human beings with the beings of light, there is no limit to their activity. The human being has now served in love and thereby also rendered a service to God, for His care is always directed towards the redemption of the unfree spiritual beings and since this is only possible through active neighbourly love, the human being thereby also serves God by contributing towards the redemption of the unfree spiritual beings....

ISTINSKO BOGOSLUŽJE... SLUŽENJE U LJUBAVI...

Radosno služenje u Ljubavi je ispravno bogoslužje, ali također jedino to treba pod tim razumjeti. Svaki čovjek je Božje stvorenje, i ako jedan služi drugome, on u neku ruku iskazuje i Ljubav Stvoritelju, i služi Mu... Duhovni svijet može biti neprestano aktivan kada mu je kroz djelatnu Ljubav otvoren pristup čovjeku, i sada će opet djelovati u Ljubavi, odnosno, razdjeljivat će ono što prima od Boga, i opet primati ono što želi razdjeljivati. Jer, služenje u Ljubavi je i u onostranom prva zapovijed, no također i uistinu usrećujuća aktivnost, tako, kao što na Zemlji služenje u Ljubavi izaziva sreću unutarnjeg zadovoljenja i istinsku radost. Djelatna Ljubav za bližnjega je stoga istinsko bogoslužje. Gdje nedostaje Ljubav, bogoslužje je nezamislivo, pa stoga sve drugo što se inače shvaća pod riječju bogoslužje treba odbaciti. Tko želi služiti Boga, to može činiti jedino kroz to da on Njemu želi pričiniti radost, onda on čini ono što je Božja volja od vječnosti... da on živi u Ljubavi, i time potvrđuje svoje porijeklo, da on tako priznaje svoj izlazak iz Boga, i sada se također trudi postupati tako kako postupa Sam Bog... da on neprestano daje Ljubav svakom Božjem stvorenju. Onda on stoji u istoj volji sa Bogom, budući je on postao ono što je Sam Bog... Ljubav... A onda on također može i činiti isto što čini Bog... zračiti svoju snagu Ljubavi na stvorenja, tako da ona mogu opstati... Ovo je jedino shvaćeno kada je uzet u obzir duhovni život, koji je nezavisan od života tijela, tjelesne čahure. Ovaj duhovni život može biti probuđen jedino kada je u čovjeku aktivna Ljubav, budući da onda čovjek prima Božje Ljubav-no zračenje, i sebe sada oblikuje prema Božanskoj volji. Isto je tako i biće na koje se odnosi Ljubav čovjeka, kroz to potaknuto na djelovanje u Ljubavi... Jer Ljubav budi uzvratnu Ljubav, i iznova se srce otvara Božjem zračenju, i ovo postaje djelotvorno u čovjeku kao povećana Ljubav koja se iznova vraća Bogu, tako da od Boga stvoreno žudi natrag svojemu Stvoritelju...

Ovo je izvorno određenje bića, da u najužoj povezanosti sa Bogom djeluje u duhovnom svijetu. Ono se udaljio od Boga, ali Bog ne pušta da padne ništa što je iz Njega proizašlo, i stalno nastoji to uvijek iznova dovesti Sebi. Svako djelo Ljubavi je približavanje Bogu, i posljedično je djelovanje u Ljubavi izvorno određenje suštine, budući je služenje u Ljubavi usrećujuće, i istovremeno je vladanje u najčišćem obliku... To je preusmjeravanje snage, posredovanje onoga što istječe iz Boga, primljenog od duhovnog punog svjetla, i dostavljenog duhovnome gladnome svjetla... Ovo Božansko zračenje je međutim Ljubav, Koja sada može biti primljena od suštine, ali Koja također može proći neprimijećena. Ako je primljena od suštine, onda se to izražava na način da ona iznova postaje Ljubav-no aktivna, i tako snaga Ljubavi zauvijek raste, i svaki istinski ljubavno aktivan čovjek doprinosi tome da se snaga opet vrati Bogu. Služi li sada jedan čovjek drugome u Ljubavi, onda on svoju Ljubav također nosi ususret Stvoritelju od vječnosti, budući je čovjek Božja slika, on je Božanski proizvod, i stoga ne smije biti izgubljen. Božja Ljubav pripada svakom pojedinom stvorenju, i On im nastoji posredovati Svoju Ljubav, tako da Ga oni prepoznaju, i On za to treba čovjeka koji će bližnje podučiti (odgojiti) Ljubavi, budući se jedino kroz Ljubav čovjek približava Bogu. On treba propovijedati i prakticirati Ljubav... ako on prakticira Ljubav, on uspostavlja kontakt sa Samom vječnom Ljubavlju, i na taj način bićima iz onostranog oslobađa put prema ljudima, tako da oni sada mogu direktno djelovati. To je djelo milosrđa koje se ne treba zanemariti... On također služi i tim bićima, olakšavajući im njihovo djelovanje. A ako netko poveže bližnje sa svjetlosnim bićima, njihovom djelovanju nisu postavljene prepreke. Čovjek je tada služio u Ljubavi, i Bogu kroz to također iskazao služenje, jer je Njegova briga (skrb) u svako doba okrenuta izbavljenju ne-slobodnog duhovnoga, a budući je to moguće jedino kroz aktivnu Ljubav prema bližnjemu, kroz to čovjek također služi Bogu, čim on pridonosi izbavljenju ne-slobodnog duhovnoga.

AMEN
