[065] Words of Hak Ja Han Book 1 - Global Unity Through True Parents Part 2 : Global Mission Strategy for National Restoration 3) Central Providential Nations and the Responsibilities of Each Mission Country
2. Japan—a mother's mission - 2
As Father led the global providence, he loved Japan more than any other country. Can you all personally feel that? True Father came as a man; however, the providence cannot move forward with a man alone. Likewise, the providence cannot move forward solely with masculine nations.
This also applies to the cultural history of humanity. Where did the history of culture begin? It started from the Italian peninsula, and then moved to the mainland, and then to an island, before returning to a peninsula.
Through whom did Japan receive blessings? Japan, must accomplish its mission as an Eve nation. It is the same in today's society. A father goes out to earn money while the mother uses the money earned to manage the household.
The mother raises the family, educates the children. The scale of a woman's activities is greater than that of a man's; it includes even bringing a new life into the family.
Also, it is the mission of a daughter-in-law to make the family rich. According to a Korean saying, a poor family can become wealthy if a good daughter-in-law marries into the family.
The influence of the daughter-in-law on the family environment is that extensive. Creating a big environment requires a big energy investment. This includes effort, dedication, sacrifice, and living for others. (2013.08.24, Cheon Jeong Gung) Japan is the nation that was blessed at the center of the providential work and the great will, which the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind desired to fulfill. Japan needs to reveal the truth. The world is becoming more united with each passing day, and an isolated nation cannot exist.
I am sure that you also feel this reality most keenly. If Japan asks others to unite with her while covering up the past and only looking to the future, the truth will be buried. Then Japan will not be able to make any friends.
During the 55 years of mission work, many people were blessed in Japan. Now there are second and even third generation members. What the 130 million people of Japan should value the most and be most proud of are their blessed families.
At present, Japan is facing difficulties not only in politics and its economy, but also in other areas as well. Only when your country attends True Parents from a truthful and modest position can it survive in the world.
As I gazed upon the luxuriant water grass growing in Lake Akan of Kushiro, Hokkaido, I spoke to it in my mind, saying, "You should be grateful to Heaven for being in an environment where you can grow like this.
The water, the wind, and all these other conditions created the environment where you can grow so well. That environment should not be spoiled.” I believe the Japanese blessed families know what kind of an environment they need to create for Japan and the world. The environment we create will last eternally.
Now the time has come for us to show others through our actions, with our mind and body united as one. Consider how hundreds and thousands of people can be brought back to life through you.
What could give more joy and hope than that? To make that happen, however, you first need to fulfill your given responsibility and mission. (2013.10.14, Sapporo, Japan) |
