Raising Children In God's Will (128) Chapter 2. Children's Love and Parents' Love Section 4. Love of Parents
7) The Sphere and Depth of the Love of Parents - 1
Love cannot be accomplished alone. Without life, love cannot exist. When we think about the father-son relationship, we see a relationship of love.
So, unless we have life and hope, there cannot be a relationship of love. We cannot have love without the connection to life.
That is why the connection of life must be invested in love. Also, this problem of whether we feel more value of this love or not is decided by how much life was invested in this love.
For example, the parents' love towards their children does not consist of the usual relationships of daily life, but it arises from the bone. The parents have this love, which they cannot forget or cut off.
That is why, as long as they live, parents love their children. When they feel they are related to the child with their own life, love arises naturally to the hearts of parents.
They do not love thinking that child is mine so I have to love him, but because their own power of life is connected to the child. They cannot but love him. We feel these facts strongly in our family life. (32-15)
