Pyeong Hwa Gyeong (145) Book 8. The Reunification of Korea and World Peace CHAPTER 14. The Course of Life for the Princes and Princesses of God
3. How will the independence of God’s homeland first be realized? - 4
If you love your enemies, there is nothing you cannot say or do. Why? It is because whatever you do out of love has God’s blessing. If God says a man is good-looking, then he is good-looking ; if God says he is really commendable, he is really commendable; if God says he is brave and fiery, then he is brave and fiery. I take it that I have God’s approval, and hence I can take on the world with confidence.
When I become intoxicated with God’s approval while working on my own, do you know what happens? Young people—young men and women— appear, a great family of all races appears, an entire people appears, a people that God can truly take joy in appears, and the dawning of God’s homeland becomes possible.
When Jesus said we have to love our enemies, he meant we have to love even the worst person. If a man who thinks he’s really handsome is matched with a woman he considers to be less than himself, his loving her is even more important than his loving his enemies.
The person who loves his or her enemies will march in the vanguard and carry the flag of the most exalted prince. How noble that person is! He or she can leap over national and racial boundaries. On the day you live with a heart to love your enemies, all barriers will fall, the history of the providence of restoration will be shortened, and heaven will come near. My philosophy is that simple.
There is nothing I haven’t done. I’ve been a farmer, a laborer; I’ve tried everything! Living my whole life in this way, I thought I was all alone. Yet when I turned around, I found British people following me, Americans following me, people following me from all over the world!
Even if I pushed them away rudely and moved on in a new direction, they came back and followed me. I go this way, I go that way, yet still they follow me. This is how it is, so no matter how much you research the Unification Church, there is always something more to learn.
