Earthly Life and Spirit World (Part 1) - 050 by Rev. Sun Myung Moon [1] The Existence Of Human Beings On Earth And In The Spirit World 5) The Blessing And Eternal Life
4. Blessing And Spirit World ② The Spirit Selves of Husband and Wife
We are the group that seeks the ideal of love. Do you understand? Therefore, we have to embody the ideal of love. When we sow the seed of love in the horizontal physical realm as the spokesperson for the spirit world, we can grow bigger through our give and take action centering on the heart of love. After that kind of husband and wife enter the spirit world, they will become one body with God in the realm of His eternal love. (144:224)
You have to study the logic of true love many times. When we look at the elder ladies who have been with us from the beginning of our church, they look as if they are in their thirties, even though they are actually over fifty. Do I feel bad about that? (Laughter.) The more you love, do you look older or younger? (Younger!) The more you love, the more you become younger.
Externally, the human body grows older. But if you love more and more as husband and wife, your spirit selves become younger. What does it mean? It means that the longer you live, the more mature you become as a beautiful lady or a handsome man.
Usually as you become old, your external body begins to malfunction and becomes useless. At some point, you are supposed to take it off. But what can you do if it also gets younger and sticks with you? Your internal self becomes strong and beautiful, and becomes an heir of the future. It is like a chestnut shell.
When fall comes, the strong shell becomes loose and allows the chestnut to fall. Just like that. What does a loving person become? Those who live a pleasant life in God's grace and loving each other don't look older. (164:102) |
