Pour Your Heart Out for Others

It is said that children are a blessing.  A child is a real gift given directly from God.  

This is more so than a wife receiving her husband, or a man his wife.  Father matches couples that don't seem to make sense, but he puts them together based on knowing what the children will be like.  This couple should be grateful for their pairing and see what kind of children they will have.

When the couple first sees a child from this kind of matching, they will know he is truly a gift from God.  They will love that child more than they love the husband or wife.  This will be okay, because the couple would be mutually grateful, because their mate enabled them to be the parent of such a child.  Through this foundation, the couple can admire each other.

Mothers should breast feed their children, if it it is just for a little time.  The more children she has, it may become more difficult to keep this standard, but the basic principle is still there.

Breast feeding is the best link for a mother and child to truly relate. 

The matchings are mostly made of international and interracial couples.

It would be the most beautiful sight for God to see a black mother loving and feeding her white child at her breast.  Would it be thinkable that the father and mother in this situation would have any racial discrimination?

This is God's culture.  There is no other culture more beautiful than this one.

Through learning the contents of the Divine Principle, upon which this blog is based, you come through the narrowest gate.  This means it is the most precious and rare blessing for you in your life.

If you were to truly inherit this philosophy and way of life, then wherever you go in the world, you would be welcomed, respected, and loved.

This is a course of seven years compared to the university's four years.

In seven years, you must consummate this role.  There must be nothing you cannot bear, even if you were treated as human trash.  This is where true kingship and queenship begins.

Which would be the better dramatic movie: everyday life, or a shocking courageous and victorious story?

Walking this narrow path is most difficult, would you be able to have such conviction to fill the goal for more than three days?  Time is just like an arrow flying through the air, and it is already the middle of the year.  Would you say that you will start this work next month or next year?

This timetable must start today.  If you wait until next month, next year, tomorrow will never come.

After three years of marriage, by that time, a couple may feel that they have a big lump that they have to carry wherever they go and never be separate from it.  Would you want to go your own way, or the way God wants you to go?

Where is the ultimate settling place?

Each couple must set up their own goals and serve your home church where you witness 360 homes. In home church you can be proud of your husband or your wife. That is your territory and realm.

Home church is the place for your settlement.  You must set the home church foundation for which to work through, or there is nowhere else for you to go.

Your destination is witnessing.

When you love your home church you are consummating every order you have received from True parents, true teacher, true patriot and true saint.

If a shrine was placed up for those who accomplish their home church mission, it would definitely be a place where God wants to visit.  Through the destiny of home church you will find heaven and your permanent home.

It is almost like being given into marriage.

If you leave this responsibility unfulfilled, then that great burden will be left to your own children to complete.

In this providence, the wife will work harder than the husband works and the husband will work harder than his wife, loving home church more than they love each other.  You love home church more than anything else.  You can concentrate there to build your own kingdom and heaven on earth.

This is the new kind of evangelism where we must succeed.

You will be welcomed even if you appear to your home church without any clothes.  You will still be welcomed as their savior.

The grandparents in your home church area will be competing to have your children come to their home and take care of them.  Your baby will have 360 homes right away in which to live.

Home church people will give true blessing and honor to your children. 

They will proclaim, "We know your father and mother very well and they are true saints. We saw God through your parents."

Then your children will be embraced and loved by your people as precious children.  Your home church people will pray for blessing towards yours as well. Your children will go to the same school in the morning with the home church children.

Your children will be embraced and loved by your home church people as precious children.  They will pray for blessings to come to you as well.  Your children will attend the same schools.  If your home church people have money, they won't consider it theirs, but think how they can spend the money for the home church providence.

Three hundred and sixty homes will be one family work and they will want to spend money for that. 

In another twenty years, you will look back and see that you are assisted by many people.  This is a prime time now.


In order to walk this path, you need to be able to absorb all types of people.  If Jesus was still alive and he was in his 80s, would you tell him he could not visit your home because you don't like the elderly?  You would say that you would serve him.

If you do this, then you should do this for your own parents in the Messiah's place.  As your parents get older, you should serve them as much as you serve Jesus.  That is real love.

The base to practice this type of love is in the home church providence.  If you consistently make effort now, some power will pull people to visit you if they were passing by to another destination.

It already July; imagine if you poured out your heart to a new person each day starting in January how extraordinary things could have happened by now.  You would have almost converted 200 people.

It is not too late.

You can start today and renew your energy.  This is what Heavenly Father, your wife, or husband, your children, and all of your relatives wants.


Time is not merciful enough to slow down for you. You have to keep abreast of time because time will never relax its pace. You can finish school in four years, but with extra effort you can graduate in three or even two years. It all depends upon your own effort. 


This morning the two central words are gratitude and home church.

In this providence, there is no room for complaint.  When Father came to America, he came as a firefighter to save the people, but he was met with hostility instead.

He never complained.

He was always grateful to God instead.  Even though he was constantly persecuted, his territory is constantly growing.

His opponents thought they had succeeded in knocking him out of commission.  But they did not understand that the more they attacked, the more blessings came to him and the members.

If the government persecutes, then their blessings must go to him.  If the media attacks with false claims, then their own blessings will diminish.  It will be like scales being emptied on one side and loaded on the other side.

While receiving persecution as a daily diet, we are growing.

You must really live up to the expectations in home church and all your shortcomings will be forgiven based on this condition.  Will you promise?

Give your pledge and promise this morning by raising your hands. Let us pray.


Return for Tomorrow's post: True Love Most Valuable to God

Persecution is Necessary

God created man to have true love but man fell; thus, God agonizes that true love has not been achieved. He has been trying to raise man so that they can both have true love. True God can have true love and true man.

Dr. Rev. Sun Myung Moon

True man can have true God and true universe.   True creation has true man and true God. 

True love is the most important.  Without possessing true love, there is no way for you to become a true, absolute man or possess true things.

Do you want to have true love then?

What if you were to go hungry for a few days, would you want true love more than you want food if you had to choose?

You may have experienced a fasting period so you could focus more on God.  One minute before the fast is to end, do you want true love or good food at that moment?

In just that crucial moment, your thoughts can destroy the whole purpose of your three or seven-day fast.  If in that moment you feel that you could continue to fast even more for true love, then you have served the purpose of the fast.  But, if you were thinking about eating once more and to become full as quickly as possible, then the purpose has been lost.

The providence for God to restore humanity's fallen history is thousands of years.  But, now, we have the tools to cover this same distance toward true love within one generation.

If we really plant our stake in true love then God will be overjoyed.

Once we reached this standard, then human life has reached its goal and mankind can experience joy eternally.  Everyone would then celebrate.  A true man might be the most foolish in the world because he will understand this concept and like persecution.  He understands that true love is man's ultimate goal.

The main problem we encounter during the process of restoration is how do we inherit the correct pattern that will help move history back in the right direction.  The Messiah returns not to take believers immediately away to a paradise, but to lay a foundation and tradition that reverses the fall.

As sinful sons and daughters, we are not really qualified to inherit this tradition.

Then, what is needed to qualify as a true son?  Would a true son leave their parents' house from one argument?  But, we witness this in many families.

It is not easy to be a true son or daughter.

Out of a family, maybe one child would struggle to stay at home during the rough times.  Such a son will say he will leave no matter what actions his parents do.

God is the toughest to the ones He loves the most.

He does not sympathize, or worry if you had eaten or not while you are performing His mission.  He would wonder what time it was and why do you sleep.  With such a standard, He might think His son would leave, but would be surprised to see the true son keep going during the difficult barriers.

Why does God set such a difficult path for His soldiers?

Satan can follow those who are working for God to a certain height, so God would want you to make it over the highest point where Satan can no longer follow you and your progress from there on is not so difficult.

From God's point-of-view, He does not think that Satan is all bad when it comes to your mission.  He thinks that if there was no Satan to push you, that you would not work so hard for God.

In school, no one likes examinations, but teachers know that if they were never to give out tests, that you would never study the material.  With each exam for which you study hard, you gain more knowledge and become more useful.

Persecution is in order for us to get the blessing.  If we get persecution, then we keep going.

An offering must be pure.  The criterion in ancient times was to make a sacrifice of virgin women through offering of the first love.  This was the same with animals.

During the Old Testament times, people of faith would offer things of creation which are closer to God than fallen man.  While in the New Testament, man himself was dedicated as the offering.

Now that we live in the Completed Testament age in the era of the Second Coming, the standard of offering is elevated and we experience sacrifice of the heart.

Therefore, once we dedicate everything for the sake of goodness it is painful to be rejected and misunderstood.  A person that is constantly persecuted can be seen as an offering.  The best material is used as an offering, so a pure wonderful person should be used as an offering.

If you don't proclaim your love for God and receive persecution, can we truly say that we are an offering?

All the fifty states of America belong to the nation, not to one individual.  Likewise, America belongs to the world.  If the Messiah is going to bring the whole world and spirit world into unity, then he belongs to God.

This confirms that the individual comes under the family, the family belongs to the tribe, the tribe to the nation, nation to the world, world to the cosmos, the cosmos to God, and God to absolute love.

By following this reasoning, then we can conclude that we are living for the sake of love.  This should be our concern.  Everything in creation is included in true love.  Even within a couple, if the husband snores, the woman might go into the other room, but a couple of true love, the wife could stay and snore just as loudly, what a sight that would be.

In Korea we say that a man who has already reached his destination is a crazy man. 

This is the kind of craziness that God wants to see.

Without true love, thinking about uniting the races and the world would be just pure fantasy.

To reach this destination, your course will lead you to all things of creation and mankind.  If someone asks you which country you are from, you tell them that you are an American, not the state you are from.

People of faith are fishers of men.

We catch people for true love.  When you are doing mission work, it is to help build the bridge so all those people can cross.

We must contribute not just our material, but also men, and give them with God's heart.  We dedicate our families to that bridge, centering on love.  When we recover the nation, we will offer it, when we recover the world we offer that to God also.  For the sake of true love, we shall recover the universe and dedicate it to God.

We don't offer just a few things, but all things gather for the offering including men and heart.  We dedicate our property, money, bodies and heart to God.  This is the same as offering all material, people and all their heart.

Then whose property does it become?

Then everything is returned and owned by God.  Your ownership is external while God's ownership is internal.  All of this can be indemnified in one individual.


Return for Tomorrow's Post: Persecution Brings Blessings, Endure

What Determines Good and Evil?

We have reached a population of seven billion people living on the face of the earth and still growing.  But they are confused from the beginning not knowing their true history.  Where has this chaotic situation began and where are we headed?

Human history is unclear which makes the process also unclear, therefore the end is unclear.  With all situations situations, the only thing that is prospering is confusion.  If we clearly knew the beginning, there would not be up or down and no confusion would exist in the world because our destiny would be very clear, therefore our end goal would be clear.

Our history is not like this.

Human history is full of confusion and continues in confusion.  People think certain things are good and certain things are evil.  There are no set standard of good and evil which everyone clearly follows.  The standard is always changing and for this reason there is greater confusion.

In history, there are two major parts that are always engaged in battle and confrontation: good and evil.  This conflict has caused bloodshed creating confusion continuing in our time.

In history many kingdoms and empires have risen and left the earth.  Those empires and kingdoms do not measure their destiny when they're going up or when they are going down; when they're going to be flourishing or when they are going to be demolished. No one knew.

Every ruler that came into power throughout history wanted to stay in power.  They wanted to stay for good and continue their goodness.  However without them knowing a logical reason, they had to perish and had to be killed.  They're kingdom had to be demolished.

Centered on men, there is good and evil in the world.  So who is going to determine what is good and what is evil?

If there happens to be a good sovereignty or an eternal good power, then that power would control and diminish evil and make good to flourish and continue to flourish.  However, there has not been such a power throughout history.

No one was able to recognize an absolute good solution, good principle or good ruler of the universe. Throughout history, rulers from different empires and kingdoms had to shape their own rules and principles to determine what was good and evil.One is different from other sets, thus from one place to the other, everyone is operating under different criteria of good and evil.

Every country has its own definition of good and evil rules and certain way of punishing evil.  In order to maintain sovereignty, each country had to enforce their own standard of good and evil.  Each country has a prison, a system of judgement and even capital punishment.

Therefore the standard of good and evil has been fluctuating up and down, according to the thinking and standards of each kingdom's ruler and sovereignty. Therefore all of humanity is destined to choose one way or the other.

People have a natural desire to take the good road which they feel they can flourish, but they end up going another way to follow the evil road.  But by following this way, they will eventually perish.  This has been the reality in history.

Furthermore, the conscience has the power of judgment; the conscience can tell what level of evil or what level of goodness. Even looking at similar countries, the conscience will see which country is the more evil country and which is the relatively good country.

The conscience has the power of judgment. 

The conscience does not only evaluate and judge matters, but is also moving itself toward the best goodness it can find.  What is the purpose of education?  Is it to educate the body or the conscience?  If the conscience has the power to judge good from evil, but the body is absolute mess far from the will of God, then what needs to be educated is the body.

 The body has to be guided, educated and led into the right direction.

So when you contact a good man one time, then the second time, and third time, your mind will know whether or not that person is good or evil or how good or how bad.  The mind and body, the conscience and body are constantly fighting with each other.  Each person has a lot of contradiction within himself or herself, but conscientious people have more harmony and cooperation between their conscience and body.

The principle states that the spirit world concentrates on the eternal, unchanging qualities of the conscience because the body is changing all of the time it cannot center on the body.

Our conscience is like the spirit world.  It is unseen, unchanging; spirit world and conscience do not change.  The physical body does not receive or communicate with the physical world.  In order to enter the spiritual world, the body is left behind.

Spirit world vibrates together with the conscience, you can harmonize and receive a message from the spirit world. 

The conscience has one standard following the one principle which is unchanging.  On the other hand, our five senses constantly change as they obey the body with ten different variations and different ways they react to the environment.  Evil uses this loophole to perform its evil acts on a playground flying in and out to do as it pleases.

When the body makes a demand, then the mind or conscience responds and rejects the idea.
Actually, there are a lot of loopholes which allow evil to come inside of us.  The eyes can view a picture many different ways.  The body will follow that image and act upon it causing the body to go down toward the road of evil.  The body chases things that will make it comfortable.  It only wants to eat good food, wear and touch soft clothes and take lots of rest.

Mind is trying to find its own place and harmonize.

We have never seen or touched our mind, but we know it is dwelling within us.  Do we know where the origin or root of the mind or original mind:?

The mind is absolutely invisible. The root of the mind has absolutely clear goals, clear direction, clear purpose-no problem there.  This means that our mind is always working toward the way and the better goodness all of the time.

Would you rather be a son and daughter of filial piety, loyal subject or a rebellious son?  What about a patriot?

If you had to choose between being a patriot or saint which would you choose?  You would probably want to be a saint because being a patriot is only limited to one country and is not far reaching.

On the other hand, a saint is a universal person who is eternal and everlasting.  Here, there is a direction and a purpose with a mind direction and purpose the mind's purpose.  The goal would not be changed for ten thousand years even million of years because it sprouts from the root of the mind.  That is the root of the conscience.

If a man absolutely obeys the direction of his conscience, he is not only known as a noble character, but he will automatically enter the kingdom of heaven.  He would be respected and admired.  The root of this noble character is the eternal center of goodness.

The original root of conscience and your conscience's purpose and direction are parallel.  So, you must know about both.  You should clearly know the purpose and goal and then there will be no confusion.

Then what is the conscience's ultimate goal?  Is our goal to gain knowledge or to be able to brag that your head holds so much knowledge and have reached the ultimate goal of goodness?

Our purpose cannot be to gain knowledge, because this quality is not everlasting and is always changing.  For example, science will tell is that vitamin B is good for the body, but then turn around years later and discover that Vitamin B is the worst thing for the body.

One study will see that a treatment for cancer is not good for the body while another thinks it is the best solution. How do you determine which is true?  Knowledge changes and is always moving forward.  What is known in our time could never have been thought of thousands of years ago.

There is no absolute truth that is guiding the academic world. 

Is money or wealth the goal of the conscience?

If you had millions of dollars in your pocket, you might feel a wonderful feeling, but the pocket rather go rest and swim.  The pocket would feel that someone will always be around to steal it and will become worrisome and watch the money.

Would the pocket be happy or feel restless and worried to carry so much wealth?

Money is not everlasting.  If a person was told to take a million dollar check for a week, but was told they would have to give it back on the weekend, at first they would feel jubilation, but would feel sad once they went home. That's money - money plays a lot of tricks.

In order to maintain power, you cannot just act normally or be a good man - you've got to be absolutely savvy and cruel in order to maintain that power. Saddam Hussein is a good example.  It is said that one only needs power to do evil, because all one needs is love as the motivator.

Because when you have sovereignty position and power, there is always someone else aiming at you, trying to topple that power.

Therefore, there are gangsters and organized crime and the coup d'etat, the military and all kinds of saboteurs, and even other political parties, all of whom are just trying to character assassinate you. They try to turn you into a vegetable so that they can take power. That's the real world. Therefore, political power has nothing to do with eternal happiness.  It will carry itself to the people as if it performing works to bring about a nation of happiness, but it is only for the interest of the politicians.

If you are in a position of power, there is always going to be an adversary that will use all their power to try to topple you over.  They will try to take all of you to turn you into a vegetable so they can take your power. This is the reality of the world and the reason why political power is not the cause of human happiness.
