2) When You Are in Difficulty
③ Father's Attitude toward Difficulty - 4
What kind of person do you think Father is? Father's character is very hasty. I cannot bear it if someone slanders me. I cannot bear it if someone hits me, and I hate to lose.
I have quite extreme characteristics. Because of this temperament and character, I have done well in many fields. There is nothing I cannot do. Whatever sport I play, I determine to win. My brain is not so bad either.
With this kind of character, can you imagine how many times I had to endure unbearable things? Think how many times I had to endure shameful situations.
But I had to overcome all of this for God. God must have a fiery character like me. If He acted by His fiery character, God could have swept away all of this world.
Yet because He endured such a long time, this world still exists. God even refrained from taking revenge against Satan. Since I know God endured so much, I could repent and endure everything. That is why the Unification Church exists today. You must know this.
Since I know God, who endured so much difficulty, indignation and injustice, how could I stain or scar God's will of restoration? That's why I have persevered until now. The Unification Church must go the way of endurance in this position, overcoming, forgiving, and being proud of our position. (65- 328)
I tell you, no matter how much indignation and injustice you feel, it will never match my feelings. No matter how much Rev. Moon feels indignation and injustice, it will never match God's feelings.
That's why I endure. This is the place where our hearts connect. You must know that within this sorrow, the way of God's heart will widen. (106-119) |
