Following True Parents' Holy Wedding in 1960, blessed families emerged. You all are second-generation members right? You all are the "pure water" born through True Parents. You also have responsibilities. You must enlighten the 7.4 billion people in the world who have not recognized the True Parents. They must not die miserably without even knowing that True Parents were here or learning about Heaven's blessing and grace, even though they lived at the same time as True Parents. We must let them know quickly so that the can live with gratitude that they could live at this time in attendance to Heaven before their lives are over. To enter the kingdom of heaven when we die, we must first live in the kingdom of heaven on earth. It is important to join in with God's providence here on the earth. That is why, for a long time I have thought about how to convey this hopeful news to those in many fields. The work to create the environment for witnessing is not easy. All of you are at least 17 years old. I was that age when I resolved to go forward in the position of a True Parent. I have followed that path unwaveringly for the past fifty years. You must work hard, and try to resemble me in your determination. (2017.01.06, Cheon Jeong Gung) No matter how difficult or poor your circumstances are, you still have responsibilities. If I asked you to imagine the kingdom of heaven on earth, what kind of picture would you paint in your mind? You must first be able to express it through the deep joy within your heart and through your body. You can express it through dance, song or through art. This does not only convey your own emotions but is an exercise in which emotions can be shared. True Parents' dream is to make that kind of world. True Parents are working to engage with all 7.3 billion people of the world. Is it possible for True Parents to do this by themselves? You must work to expand True Parents' dream. Therefore, as soon as possible, we must create the kingdom of heaven on earth, the realization of Heavenly Parent's dream, True Parents' dream—your dream. There are many obstacles until that can happen. However, while I am still here, while you are here, we can do it! You are still in the growing stage and must study more and experience many things. That is why you should spread the dreams you are working toward even more widely. These dreams are not for yourself alone, but for the settlement of Cheon Il Guk, with which we have been blessed. This is the kingdom of heaven on earth. Many well-known artists and musicians have emerged from the Christian cultural sphere. If you visit the Vatican, you can see works of art by Michelangelo. Artists of that caliber emerged. In our time, in Cheon Il Guk, you who were born as pure water can become people who create works even greater than that.
I am giving you the opportunity to display fully the talents you were born with, so do not waste your energy with complaints, but participate in this workshop with happy and grateful hearts. I hope that through the talents you were born with, and in connection with my plans, you will paint a grand picture as you look far ahead to the future. I have great faith in all of you.
