A family where loving parents embrace their children and share in joy will not be able to be attacked by anything in the universe.
Rather, your family will have natural protection. People have not known this fundamental principle.
If a child is born crippled or has a terminal illness, it is natural for the deep heart of the parent to flow to the crippled child. Is that wrong?
The heart of such a handicapped person is like a valley, and the heart of the parents like a big area on the hilltop.
The heart of such parents flows from the top to that deep valley.
There is nothing bad in the heart of parents who live for the sake of their children.
The more miserable their situation and worn out their clothes are, then the further they dig into the deep valley of tears.
What would happen if a baby was ashamed of taking a poop? A baby isn't ashamed if they pee or poop accidentally on their parents.
Rather he smiles openly in front of their parents as they watch them clean up after him.
This is only possible with love. In love, there is no such thing as dirty things.
Love can overcome everything.
A mother who breastfeeds her baby at her bosom has an earnest heart.
The parents' heart is such that even when their baby's poop and pee smells, they are able to forget this and overlook instances like this because of their love.
If fallen parents have such a heart toward their children, how much more heart does God have as the subject partner of love?
God wanted to love Adam and Eve through His original heart. We should think about this deeply.
The parents heart always feels lacking and they feel they can always give something more.
They want to love more, wondering if they have loved enough even after giving love and they feel regretful and sorry even after giving.
Because of this, their heart can be part of the essential core of eternal love.
This is the same heart that was the original motivation at the very beginning of love.
When parents divorce, it is the same as cutting their children in half with a knife. The public law of the universe does not allow this.
Parents who violate this will receive punishment and be followed by misfortune wherever they go. They will be unable to find true happiness.
When the baby becomes hungry, the mother's breasts becomes swollen with milk. When the milk swells them up and her breast become sore, there is an abundant pressure.
The heart of the mother who embraces her baby and gives him milk is hard to express in words.
When her swollen breasts go down, then the mother feels relieved and happy.
No one can understand this feeling unless she is a mother herself. Moreover, as the mother bonds and watches her baby suck her breasts while touching it, love springs up abundantly in her heart.
If you were to ask a mother if she would rather lose her husband or her child, if she really loves her child, she will say that should would never give up her child. She would rather give up her husband if she had to choose.
Husbands may be hurt to hear this.
These days, some people would say that if a child dies they can just have another one.
This is the last option. In the principle of matters of order, we see that the husband and wife are horizontal and come last. The history of love is like this.
What on earth is the original love?
It is the kind of love where a parent would give their life for their child.
Their love goes beyond their own life. Why must this be so? Originally, the universe was not created for the sake of life, because it was created for the sake of love. Love came first.
Since this is the case, then life goes along with love, and not that love goes along with life.
Genuine love sacrifices life and goes beyond life. This is because this love of Heaven is a love that can connect with the universe.
The salmon's life is a great example.
The salmon dies after laying its eggs. nevertheless the male and female first become one to lay their eggs.
This means that salmon couples are deeply in love. It is as if they have been sentenced to die.
The male makes a hole in the ground once the female lays her eggs and protects them. This is truly an ideal couple.
The body of the mother becomes food for her young.
Why would the Creator think to create salmon in such a way? Seeing this, we see how important our young are. God created the salmon as a model to show that love, and our young are the most precious things.
The life of the salmon is truly a great textbook for humankind.
Parents' love is complete even after being shared over and over again
Why is it we cannot help loving our children?
Because when we love our children, it is like inheriting God's great work of creation the horizontal (earth) and substantial level.
Through loving our children, we feel the joy God felt after creating Adam and Eve.
We inherit God's love and God's authority to create.
Parents who have raised many children see that their heart of love is wide, large and deep.
They can feel on their own that they cannot fight even their wicked enemies. They stand on that foundation and live according to that broad of a law.
When a baby is born, he follows the electric current of love and automatically seeks out his mother's nipple.
He does not care how ugly or beautiful his mother is. To witness such a sight of unmatched harmony and holiness.
Each of us are the fruit of our parents' love for one another. We are born in love, and grow up while receiving love.
You are the visible, real fruit of what your mother and father's love is like.
Therefore, it is natural that the parents have to love the person who is the fruit of their love.
Through this fruit, the infinite love bears fruit yet again.
This is the path where we can be connected to individual love, family love, tribal love, universal love and even the fundamental love of God.
You are a unique participant and companion in love in front of your parents.
This love makes you equal to your mother and father and you can rise to an equal position.
This is the privilege of love.
Parents want to bequeath everything they own to their sons and daughters, whom they truly love.
You can jump in and inherit a hundred percent of the universe when you have found an equal position of value of love in the tradition of love.
This is why all parents want a child of filial piety.
Children of filial piety pass on the inheritance of love as participants in the eternal love of their parents.
A baby who is born through love can do whatever he wants and you will not dislike him one bit.
Rather, no matter what, you will love your baby because he is made from your flesh and blood and is a second you, created through love.
Even when he defecates or urinates, has a runny nose, he is still cute and adorable in your eyes.
This is because these things are soaked in love.
The love between the parents and children comes from the parents. We receive our parents' love from the moment of our birth.
After we receive the parents' love and grow up, then we receive the horizontal love between husband and wife.
In order for the love of the husband and wife to continue, they must have children and love them.
Parents can feel genuine love only when they have children.
Through only the love of brothers and sisters, we cannot learn about parents' love.
In other words, we come to know parental love when we ourselves experience the circular course through becoming parents and complete the circle.
The love string of our parents and the string of our ideals are connected to each of us.
This cannot be cut off by anyone. All of the power of the universe protects such a union.
Thus, wherever I go, my parents will follow me. My parents always want to be with me, even in the spirit world. Thus, it is a sin to dislike your parents accompanying you.
The highest value for human beings is to think of and love our parents like they are our own body and practice filial piety.
We are born from our parents' love and are engrafted to their love.
Before the connection of life and lineage are made through love, the connections are in place.
Why are each of us so precious? Not because we have life, but because we participated together in our parents' love.
Parents have loved, but the individual is the fruit of that love.
Each of us are precious because we are born with the beginning point and the fruit. True parents strive to continue this tradition of love.
This is the same for those in the East and the West. All parents want to have an universal tradition of love by transcending our own tribe.
All people want and strive to bring their family into completeness and harmony so they can live a happy and peaceful life.
In this case tradition is the essence.
Only tradition can connect with the future.
Which is greater: conjugal love of husband and wife or the love between parents and child?
Westerners value the conjugal love of husband and wife as greater, but this is not so.
Love for a child is greater than the love of the spouse.
In conjugal love, the husband and wife fight because they think the other does not love them.
But parents and children fight thinking that they must love the other more, this is the original heart.
The parent and child relationship is such a way because the love of parents and child is the center and vertical. It follows the road that is close to the heavenly law. Thus, we find that the love that serves others is closer to the genuine love.
However strong a man is, or however tough a woman may be, they will bow down to that love.
The reason parents are precious is because they give and sacrifice for the sake of their children. So things come to be the other way around.
When parents get old, they become children.
Long before, the parents were their children's first teacher, but they become seventy and eighty years old they become like children again.
At the same time, the child takes the place of the father or mother. The child should love his parents just as the parents have loved them when they raised them. This is the principle of heaven and earth.
