[154] Words of Hak Ja Han Book 1 - Global Unity Through True Parents Part 5 : Educating the Second Generation and Training Future Leaders Chapter 2 : Educating Second Generation Leaders
2. Top Gun training for young leaders - 3
I also like Joshua and Caleb. They were both descendants of noble families. They were loyal to Heaven for over 80 years. Caleb, from his perspective, lacked nothing. Yet, he united with Joshua. Instead of being proud of himself, he elevated Joshua first. This restored the Cain-Abel relationship and formed the foundation that enabled the Messiah to come to earth among the people of lsrael. I have been thinking a lot about our leaders these days, and I feel that a culture by which leaders can love and take pride in each other has not yet been established. You must be able to love and take care of each more than any other social group, because you are True Parents' children. You must be completely different. I want to create a new environment through you from now on. Do not seek only to achieve higher positions, but try to live for one another's sake, nurture each other and be proud of each other.
If you can do that, everyone can grow. On the other hand, no development will come to an individual or a group that is self- or group-centered and things of itself as being well-off and the best. You must understand this.
As you followed the Unification Church, some people have had to leave for particular reasons, but even those that had to leave the church all say they love True Parents. However, some people say that they left the church because of a particular member. This is a point we must correct. Yet, if you leave for self-centered reasons and live for yourselves, you will shrink and become smaller. On the other hand, if you live for the sake of others, you grow and develop. You must ensure that no one suffers pain because of you.
As people who save lives, you must not destroy any lives. I am talking about people now. You should embrace all your siblings, members-all people; ensure that no one leaves the Unification Church because of you. You must do everything you can to bring this people, this nation, in front of Heaven and restore the world. If you can accomplish that, how proud an accomplishment would that be? However, one person alone cannot accomplish this. It can be achieved only if you join hands and accomplish twice, 3 times, 4 times, 10 times or 100 times more that you have.
You should never forget how important the time we are living in is, and who enabled you to live such a life. True Parents enabled you to have such a life. In 1975, True Father chose missionaries from the United States, Germany and Japan and dispatched them to nations around the world.
True Father, centered on the United States, created then what we can call today an elite group. He gave it a special name, educated the members of the group and gave them responsibilities. Have you ever heard of the term "Top Gun?" Will you become the Top Guns of the new providential era? (2013.09.23, Cheon Jeong Gung) |
