I promise My blessing to those who follow Me, who do everything what corresponds to the commandment of Divine Love and who completely subordinate themselves to My will. And so he who unconditionally gives everything on earth to receive spiritual good, will be allowed to enjoy My constant goodwill. He will be certain of My constant blessing and need not suffer need, because if the soul is offered to Me, also the body is not to starve, so that the work on the soul is not impaired.
There must be no end to striving on earth, for as long as man remains on earth, he is offered opportunities that serve his perfection. The end of earthly life is set for everyone in wise foresight of what is to come, and since no-one knows his end in advance, the time on earth should be used so that the recall can come every day without frightening him. And all striving should apply to the higher development of the soul, but care for the body should be put in the background. To think of the welfare of one's fellow man, is incomparably more valuable for the soul than to pay constant attention to one's own welfare.
Man is only temporarily in his outer shell, which only serves to accommodate the soul - therefore the soul should also always be considered first and man should only use all opportunities which can serve the welfare of the soul. And thus man's walk on earth has a value only when the life of the soul is cared for, when every thought of man applies to his spiritual welfare ..... The ailments of the body are often necessary to support the soul when it begins to become lukewarm and careless. The work for the soul's salvation must be constant and uninterrupted if the earthly path is to bring it the final maturity. The short time on earth - which seems difficult to you - will seem insignificant in view of the glory you may receive in return, if earthly life has brought you perfection.
And if you now follow Me, if you make an effort to become perfect, and fulfill all My commandments with a joyful heart, if you do nothing without Me and ask for My power for all your activities on earth, you will remain in My love, and I will bless you. And life will become easy for you since you put your spiritual welfare before everything else and live earthly life according to My will. And so always ask for My blessing, for My grace, so that the way on earth will seem easy for you and you reach your goal .....
Amen
