True Love is Center of God's Desire

God is the great King of truth, goodness, trueness, and love.

Reverend Sun Myung Moon

Everyone has asked this question before, did God exists from the very beginning or did He just come into being?  Even God had to grow.  How do we know this?

From the Principle everything that resembles God's original nature starting from a small cell has a certain growth period.  This means the Originator has to go through the same process.  What makes God grow?

Just like humans, God grew because of an absolute love wherein God is the subject partner of love and human beings are His object partners.

God created heaven and earth, not just to see human beings, but for the sake of love. 

Even though God contains love, he cannot possess love by Himself, nor can He feel it on His own. The joy of being in perfect harmony experienced through the overflow of love cannot be felt all by Himself.

No matter how beautiful a flower may be, it must give off a fragrance; no matter how sweet its fragrance is, the wind must blow for that fragrance to be spread about. So, as the flower needs the wind, God, too, needs an object partner who will stimulate Him.

The reason why God likes true love more than anything is because it is the fundamental motivating force by which He creates.  However, what God does not covet a lump of gold like we do because he can make any element anytime He wants.

If God is an omniscient and almighty God then He is the King of Knowledge and ability and doesn't have a craving for it.

The depth of true love incorporates everything, going all the way back to the beginning -- when

If we trace all the way back to the beginning where God was born, true love's depth incorporates everything.  We don't understand how deep love is.  Love started at the very origin of his existence.    Think about it.  Even if you were to live a million lifetimes and enter past the next world, we still couldn't get there.  We would continue developing toward that goal for eternity.  It is inconceivable that husbands and wives fight and separate from each other.

Even God has grown and developed. 

Is that hard to fathom that even God had to reach maturity?

To the very depth of His beginning, He has had the same origin as true love. At the point of origin, God was not first; love was first. We say God has dual characteristics. Why dual characteristics? Dual characteristics are cherished because of love. 

God had the origin of true love at the very depth of His beginning.  

God can use true love as a bridge any way He wish for His travels.  When all of the physical parts of the body are united, everything will be okay.  When all of the inner aspects are united, everything will be okay.

When we absolutely establish a political party on God's behalf and say we will unite, we are saying that we will do so centering on Him.

All of the members of the body can freely interact and harmonize with one another through love.  the same is true for organizations.  The result will be same everywhere in every direction even in the heavenly world or the earthly world.  

Even God absolutely obeys true love. 

God would give up His whole life for the sake of true love.  Men and women both are willing to sacrifice their lives for true love because love precedes life.

Why did God come into existence?  Because of love, He exists in order to love.  Had there been no concept for love, God would not have a need to come into being.

God created everything in a pair system: the mineral world cations and anions manifest love, even though on a lower level, they intermingle.  

God regards true love as being absolute, and lives in absolute obedience to true love. 

Thus God created the universe to launch true love.

True love cannot exist without God's involvement. Without God, not even the words man, woman, family, truth and love can be called true.  God is the King of truth, goodness, and love.  Everything is possible only because of God's involvement.    

The same applies to our work:

Anything done without God is fraudulent and cannot be trusted. This applies to everything. So, the eternal standard, the standard of trueness, is established only on the basis of God's involvement. 

It is important that we see the difference between false love and true love.  We are living in a society that believes that all loves are equal and should be explored and set free.  That whatever the body desires to taste any type of love it should partake.  In order not to go down a path away from God's will, it is important to know the difference in true and false love.  God's love, gives and gives, gives and gives again without asking for anything in return.

Egoistic love connects us to the devil, and altruistic love connects us to God. 

This is the dividing line.  True love is endlessly giving and untired.

True love begins with the willingness to invest even our own lives over and over, giving and giving again, but forgetting that we have given. As it ascends, it can penetrate and enter anything it pleases, a strong mind, heaven and earth, the world of life, and even the world of death. There is nowhere that true love cannot go. It even enters secret rooms. 

True love travels at the highest speed and is a force in harmony with God's creativity.  Those who posses true love can call out to the great and almighty God and He will come.  That is how great love is.  That is true love.

Love does not just arise out of thin air. Glory does not arise without going through God's love. When we say a person is blessed with glory, we are not referring to a love in solitude, or to a millionaire sitting on a pile of gold.

This refers to a person who fully possess the bonds of love and is in an unchanging position of happiness.  Without God's love, Glory cannot exist.  After we receive the love of God once we fulfill our individual responsibility, passing through the standard of the perfection stage, glory will come to us automatically.

True love can be higher than God. 

When we hear this statement, we see that the trend is opposite this where spouses compete with one another instead of supporting each other's dreams and successes.

True love is God's love. When you go to the spirit world, you will be able to sense the colors and flavors of true love there.  The spirit world is that kind of world.

Once we become the embodiment of true love, then it becomes possible to relate to any situation and sense every situation.  If God, who is the owner of true love, had fine hair on His body, that hair would even belong to true love and heaven and earth could sense its slightest movement.  Everything will be sensitive and our emotions will resonate with the emotions of the entire universe.

The world of politics is pressing forward to Godism which is the ideology of true love.  Godism teaches how loving human beings can walk the path that confers on them to stand in a position even higher than the Creator.

This ideology cannot be achieved without first finding the way to sacrifice and invest our fallen lives.  This is why the bible teaches the seemingly paradoxical logic of those who seek to save their life will lose it and those willing to sacrifice their life will gain it.

What does a person walking on the path of love do? We should form a union of love with God, our Parent.  Only then there will be true love as the center where the will of God can reside and an individual unites that will.
