Proof of love of God: love for the neighbour....

You should prove your love for Me through unselfish love for your neighbour.... Whatever you do to the least of My brothers, you have done to Me. Love for God without love for your neighbour is therefore not possible, for feelings which you then feign for yourselves cannot be judged by Me as 'love', because love will always express itself in works which serve the well-being of the neighbour in need. Love without works is likewise impossible, for love is strength and strength always wants to be active. And therefore you will always have the yardstick for your love: whether it impels you to work, whether your will is stimulated to do works of love. You should seriously give account of this, and you should never pass by your fellow human being's need.... you should only ever seek to alleviate hardship, to give pleasure, to comfort and to help, for you will always recognize hardship around you.... And in particular you should take care of people who are in spiritual hardship. Admittedly, such help is not often accepted, for very few people are open to help for their soul. Nevertheless, again and again you should try to distribute spiritual food and drink wherever possible. Only then will you prove your love for Me when you take care of your fellow human being's spiritual and earthly hardship, who is also My living creation whose soul I want to win. And only such love, which expresses itself in works, will earn you a living faith, which I require in order to grant you eternal beatitude.... "He who believes in Me will be blessed...." But what do you mean by faith which is to earn you this beatitude? I am not satisfied with words by which you want to confirm a "faith".... I first require loving activity, evidence of your love for Me through unselfish neighbourly love. For only this can give birth to a living faith which alone is of value before Me. And as long as your love for your neighbour is still small, as long as you don't behave like a brother towards him, as long as you lack works of love, you should not feel too certain that you will become blessed through 'faith' alone.... For then your faith is only a form.... you just don't contradict it, but you are still far from being alive. And will you then ever awaken the spirit in you to life, which can only come to life through loving activity?.... You are constantly demanded to work with love, yet you only rarely comply with this demand and therefore only living faith can rarely be found. How serious will this error be in the beyond one day, that you believe you don't need works?.... Yet only 'works' follow you, and you can only show a few of them because there was too little strength of love in you which would have been active in works.... Your beatitude will correspond to your degree of love, because only love results in true faith.... But faith without love is dead and will therefore never lead to beatitude. And you should not confuse 'love' with 'feelings' which can easily arise in a person but which nevertheless do not cause him to perform works of love for his neighbour.... And you will truly be offered many opportunities to be lovingly active, and you should never close yourselves off to the requests of your fellow human beings who are in need. You should sincerely want to help them and then you will also be able to do so, because love enlightens your spirit and also shows you the right ways and means, be it earthly or spiritual hardship which you then try to remedy. But don't rely on words which are dead as long as you don't give them life through loving activity.... You will never attain the right understanding of the words which the scriptures contain if you do not awaken the spirit within yourselves through loving activity.... And therefore "works" are demanded of you.... for "whatever you do to the least of My brethren, that you have done to Mean...."

Amen

LJUBEZEN DO BOGA: LJUBEZEN DO BLIŽNJEGA....

Vi morate Ljubezen do Mene dokazati preko nesebične Ljubezni do bližnjega.... To, kar ste vi storili enemu od Mojih najmanjših bratov, ste storili Meni (Matej 25:40).... Torej Ljubezen do Boga ni mogoča brez Ljubezni do bližnjega, ker občutkov, s katerimi sebe zavajate, Jaz ne morem ceniti kot „Ljubezen“, ker se bo Ljubezen vedno manifestirala v delih, ki služijo v korist bližnjega, ki je v težavi. Ljubezen brez del je ravno tako nemogoča, ker je Ljubezen moč, in moč želi vedno postati dejavna. Zato boste vedno imeli kot merilo za vašo Ljubezen: ali vas le ta žene (spodbuja), da delujete, ali je vaša volja prejela spodbudo, da izvaja dela Ljubezni. Vi bi morali resno razmišljati o tem in se nikoli izogniti težavi vaših bližnjih.... vi si morate nenehno prizadevati ublažiti težavo, prinesti veselje, potolažiti in pomagati, ker boste vedno prepoznali težavo, ki je okoli vas....Toda še posebej morate zajeti ljudi, ki se nahajajo v duhovni težavi. Res je, da takšna pomoč pogosto ne bo sprejeta, ker le malo ljudi želi, da bo njihovim dušam ponujena pomoč. Vendar pa si morate vedno znova prizadevati, da razdeljujete duhovno hrano in pijačo, kjer je le to mogoče. Vašo Ljubezen mi dokazujete šele tedaj, ko vi odstranite duhovno in zemeljsko težavo bližnjega, ki je ravno tako Moja stvaritev, katere dušo želim osvojiti. In samo takšna Ljubezen, ki se izraža v delih, vam bo prinesla živo vero, katero Jaz zahtevam, da bi vam podaril večno blaženost.... „Kdor verjame v Mene, ta bo večno blažen....“ Kako vi pravzaprav razumete pojem vere, katera vam mora zagotoviti blaženost? Mene ne zadovoljujejo besede, s katerimi želite potrditi „vero“.... Jaz najprej zahtevam delovanje v Ljubezni, dokaz vaše Ljubezni do Mene preko nesebične Ljubezni do bližnjega. Namreč edino to lahko rodi živo vero, katera pa Meni edina predstavlja vrednost. In vse dokler je vaša Ljubezen do bližnjega še majhna, vse dokler se vi do njega ne obnašate kot brat, vse dokler vi skoparite z deli Ljubezni, ne bodite preveč gotovi, da boste postali blaženi samo preko „vere“.... Tedaj je namreč vaša vera le forma.... vi sicer ne nasprotujete, toda še dolgo časa ne boste oživljeni (nimate žive vere). In boste sploh kdaj prebudili v življenje Duha v vas, ki pa lahko oživi edino preko Ljubezen-skega delovanja?.... Od vas se bo vedno zahtevalo Ljubezen-sko delovanje, čeprav pa vi le redko sledite temu iskanju (pozivu) in se zato tudi le redko najde živo vero. Kako težke posledice bo nekoč v onostranstvu imelo to vaše napačno prepričanje, da dela niso potrebna.... Toda edino „dela“ gredo z vami (Razodetje 14:13), katera pa lahko pokažete le v majhni meri, ker je bila moč Ljubezni v vas premajhna, ki bi se potrdila (manifestirala) v delih.... Vaša blaženost bo odgovarjala stopnji Ljubezni, ker edino Ljubezen povzroči pravo vero.... Vera brez Ljubezni je namreč mrtva (Jakob 2:14-26) in zaradi tega ne bo nikoli pripeljala do blaženosti. Vendar pa vi „Ljubezni“ ne smete pomešati z „občutki“, ki lahko začnejo delovati v človeku, kateri pa še ne povzročijo (ne prebujajo) izvajanja dela Ljubezni do bližnjega.... Vam je resnično ponujenih veliko priložnosti, da se aktivirate v Ljubezni, in vi ne smete nkoli zatisniti ušes pred prošnjo vaših bližnjih, ki so v stiski. Vi jim morate iskreno želeti pomagati, kar pa boste potem tudi lahko storili, ker Ljubezen osvetljuje vašega Duha in vam tako kaže pravilna sredstva in načine, naj bo to zemeljska ali pa ravno tako duhovna težava, katero vi sedaj želite odstraniti. Toda nikar se ne naslanjajte na besede, ki so mrtve, vse dokler jih vi ne oživite preko delovanja v Ljubezni.... Vi ne boste nikoli prišli do pravilnega razumevanja Besed, ki je skrito v Pismu, če preko Ljubezen-skega delovanja ne prebudite Duha v vas.... Zaradi tega se od vas zahtevajo „dela“;namreč to, kar ste storili enemu od Mojih najmanjših bratov, ste storili Meni....“
