Gifts of Heaven · Volume 2 · Chapter 319

The heavenly share of love

29th November 1843

[1] You, My servant, write a short handbill to My dear friend and brother Andr.H.-W.

[2] My friend and brother! Behold, I too am already among those who congratulate you on your name's day! What shall I wish you?

[3] Yes, if I would only wish you something and give you nothing, there I, your God, your Father, your Brother and Friend, would be no better than man, who not seldomly wish all sorts of things for each other too, admittedly only mostly earthly good things. But when it comes to giving, everyone withdraws his hand!

[4] But I will therefore wish you nothing at all, but give you that which will be most pious to you! And the gift consists in My completely relinquishing to you all your faults against Me and completely assuring you of My love and grace! But that is also already My whole binding bond, which I offer to you for this day as for all eternity!

[5] The gift seems to be simple and very small in appearance. But believe Me, your Father: you receive more with it than if I would give you all the kingdoms of the earth!

[6] Behold, everything that you now possess on earth, you will one day have to leave – and you will reach the other side in terrible poverty. You will bring no money and no bread, and no-one will give you anything for free. For miserliness continues over the grave. But in your great distress you will begin to search your pockets, and behold, there you will find only this My "love share"!

[7] This will also not be respected by the misers on the other side, but My angels will also secretly be at your side. These will recognize this share, will seize you in your great poverty together with the share, and will lead you into the great exchange house of the heavens of all heavens, in which I, your Father, full of the greatest love, will exchange the holy share with the Father's kiss and greeting for eternity, as surely as I am giving it to you here now!

[8] With this eternally true and holy assurance I bless you with My love, grace and mercy and at the same time I decide on the formula of this My everlasting main act towards you.

[9] I Myself am your prize, you My son, brother and friend forever! Amen.
