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
9. Our first purpose is to save the nation - 3
Jesus said, “Do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things, but strive first for the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matt. 6:31-33) This shows that the central stream of thought in the Bible is Heaven’s nation. The Bible’s philosophy says we must seek that nation. It doesn’t say to seek your own happiness.
If you are born as a citizen of that nation and you have a husband, then your husband represents that nation, so you have to love that nation before you love your husband. As a wife, you also represent the nation; your husband has to love that nation before he can love you. When your spouse dies, you even have to be able to ask him or her to die with the words, “I did everything I could; there is nothing more I could have done.” It is not good if you die saying, “I wish I had tried this or that.”
For this reason, we must keep on going, even though we may have accomplished a certain amount. If you walk part way down the path, there is no reason not to go to the end. When everyone else is sleeping, you have to go a step further. You’ve got to say, “Hey, Satan’s world! Take a rest for the whole day if you like! We are going on to seek Heaven’s nation.”
Fellow compatriots, all who seek the unity of the North and South, I especially want to say that the mission of women is to restore the young people, and the mission of students is to be true children based upon true education. Even going beyond that, mothers and children have to unite to set the standard in order to raise and educate their husbands to be true sons of Heaven. You must restore the ideal of the kingdom of heaven on earth by attending God and True Parents.
In closing, it is my fervent hope that my words today will help you build a nationwide movement that will bring us closer to the day when the North and the South meet in true love. May God’s blessing be with you and your families. Thank you.
