MOTHER of PEACE CHAPTER 9 GOD'S KINGDOM IN OUR MIDST 7. The true compass in life
In 1960, a few days after our Holy Wedding Ceremony, I had a dream. I was walking down a dark rugged path along a precipitous cliff, with a bundle on my head, carrying children on my back and holding other children by the hand. I could have fallen off the cliff into a bottomless abyss, but I found the light and made my way to a wide, level road.
My path has been one of raising up every valley and making every mountain and hill low. From the day of our Holy Wedding, my husband and I traveled the world so that all people will see God's salvation.
We visited every country, moving so quickly that I hardly had time to take off my shoes. As we walked the path of True Parents, we did not waver. We have borne truly unbearable persecution.
Not only political regimes but also religious believers defamed us. Looking neither to the left nor the right, we endured, persevered and shared God's word and God's Blessing. Following this way, the number of people who believe in and follow me as the True Mother is growing day after day in every nation.
Jesus said that God is his Father. John 3:16 refers to Jesus as the 'only begotten Son.” The only begotten Son is the fruit of Heavenly Parent's deepest love. The coming Lord is the bridegroom, and he came to receive the only begotten Daughter as his bride. The two must meet and marry.
That is the marriage supper of the Lamb prophesied in the last book of the Bible. Then the two must form a family. Heavenly Parent's hope has always been for one thing: that His only begotten Son and only begotten Daughter form a true family.
To live as true people in this world and enjoy eternal life in the next, we need to meet True Parents. We need to meet them even while walking down the path of death.
Even if we have lost all of history and our own descendants, when we meet True Parents, we will regain the past and the future. We will be the true family of the True Parents. True Parents embody the eternal word. The greatest gift of God is rebirth through His word. We can become true parents ourselves, perfected through love.
Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” My husband added one more word: love. Without love, we cannot do anything. We need to add love to Jesus' words and engrave them in our hearts: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life, and the love. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
We each need this love. Every one of the nearly eight billion people in the world needs to meet the True Parents on earth. That is the purpose of the marriage Blessing. The fact that True Parents are with us is the fearsome yet joyful truth. Happiness is when human beings, who have lost their parents, find them again. There is nothing more joyful.
As the True Mother, only begotten Daughter and Mother of the universe, I have completed all works of the providence and opened a new age. Now we need to engrave that truth in our hearts and act upon Heaven's will. Guided by the Mother of peace, the only begotten Daughter, we will receive True Parents' seal and be in harmony on the path of life. |
