Raising Children In God's Will (130) Chapter 2. Children's Love and Parents' Love Section 4. Love of Parents
7) The Sphere and Depth of the Love of Parents - 3
When you have parents who feel ashamed of not being able to give more, will the child run to the mother and hold her tight, will the child hold only her body? How grateful must the child feel?
That position is the place where they can shed tears for the future together. In that position you do not feel sad together, but you see the hope for the future as a stimulus of the present and have determination, encouraging each other.
So the reality that appears is not miserable. The position where you can praise the values of daily life and keep the stimulation for tomorrow is attained in this sphere of love. That is why people who live in this sphere are not unhappy. Do you understand what this means? (36-291)
Parents invest everything for their children. They are the same as God on this point. Now, what does that mean? God does not invest for Himself. God does not exist for Himself, but for his object partner.
If God says He exists for Himself, that is not true love. When you invest everything in your children and say you want to be with them, then, in that position, love, life and hope will be accomplished. (69-62)
