THE LORD LOOKS AFTER HIS SERVANTS

I am always prepared to relieve you of worldly cares if you want to work as My servants in My vineyard. Without Me you can do nothing! So My blessing must be with your work if it is to be successful. And since you strive only for spiritual successes, since you are willing to serve Me in your love for Me and your fellow-men, you may be sure of My blessing and My support. You will always be guided in the way I consider good and successful for your own soul as well as for the souls of your fellow men. And I will keep guiding your thinking so that it will move within My will and so that you will always fulfill My will. Whatever you may want to do, it will comply with My will because, by surrendering to Me, you have taken refuge with Me and shall always have My protection.

If you encounter worldly difficulties and think that you are no longer able to work for Me and My Kingdom, place your trust in Me, because nothing is impossible for Me. There is nothing you could not ask of Me. My might is unlimited and My love is boundless.

My wisdom knows the ‘pros and cons' and will dispose of everything in such a way that it is of benefit. You do not realize how much I need you people who work only for Me and My Kingdom; you do not know how extremely valuable your work is, since it concerns the salvation of erring souls! I shall not take any servant of mine away from the earth before he has completed his task set by Me following his decision to work on earth for Me and My Kingdom.

And when his missionary work on earth is fulfilled, he can leave everything else to Me. I shall fill every gap because I know whose love for Me and his fellow men is strong enough to enable him to take your place. In everything that happens to you, you will recognize My hand and My guidance, and this will make you very happy. However, I do not often work in an unusual way because I do no want to interfere with your freedom of will.

In view of this, unconditional submission to Me is the most important and the only thing that I demand of you, although I can work in an unusual way - within the limits of the natural - you must not be coerced.

Where it is necessary, I bring together those who are Mine that they may help each other and work together for Me. and My Kingdom. I only expect you to have confidence in My guidance and then you will experience it quite emphatically. Keep in mind that you are still living as men among men and that I cannot openly testify how pleased I am with your spiritual aspirations, as I would then compel your fellow men to believe in miracles. As it is, things happen quietly and approach you in accordance with My will, and you need not worry about them, except that you should ask Me every morning for strength and blessing for the day ahead.

And you are sure to receive abundantly, for I am a good householder who lovingly looks after all his servants and gives them whatever they need for body and soul. But I am also like a father who endeavors to draw his child closer towards him, and I keep proving to you My paternal love which causes your love to blaze so that increasingly you seek My nearness and the protection of My paternal arms. Let things approach you and do not worry, for I look after you and I know what you need in order to serve Me in accordance with My will.

AMEN
