7) Become a Leader in Right Love - 2
Therefore you must repeatedly set such a foundation. It must become a habit. Do the habits of the fallen world lead you to think of heaven wherever you go? Do you think about it when you are sitting down, or eating? Are you centered on God 24 hours a day?
How is it? You all understand yourselves. When you think of True Parents you should be experiencing your bone marrow melt and your legs shake heavily while walking on a road.
This is what happens when the heaven and earth draw their attention to you who have not fulfilled your responsibility. They would say, "Shame! How can children of such a noble Unification family behave that way?" You should have the heart that is ashamed to see grass on earth and flowing stream, and cry out to dogs in the village as they bark at you, "Go on and bark harder; toward someone like me, dogs should bark."
Only when all of you can pass through such experiences, can the agony of heaven, which is hidden deep in the history of the universe, one day be erased. Due to whose efforts? Due to your own efforts. As the descendants of the fall trying to follow after heaven and serve the parent in heaven, your eyes should always be drenched in tears.
The reason that the church cannot progress is because we have not become one on this issue. It will never be so unless all that you think, hear, and feel as well as your eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and your lifestyle are all in line with it. You must long for the members to come. You should yearn for them more than for your own wife and children. Try it out. If you make an excruciating effort and not even get a second of sleep, you will be able to see clearly a vision of what they are doing. At this moment, all of the good ancestors of the members who are in the spirit world will be linked up and help you.
When he finally comes, you should be able to tell him, "such and such things happened yesterday." Do you understand? Is that how it is? You false ones! After you pray, you will be able to say what time in the morning he will come.
You will know all this. Even the time of the visit. If you declare he will come, then he will without fail. This is how great the power of love is. Do you understand? The heart of yearning and adoration is great. [171-31] |
