The Providential Life of Blessed Families

The couple should know that they are the elements necessary to accomplish the will of the whole and God’s will. If the blessed families live for the benefit and well-being of themselves, not for God’s will, their children will be miserable.
Trying to follow the will of God with the motive of fulfilling your own desire doesn’t make you go forward but rather makes you go backward. There are so many examples of this. You cannot mix your individual desires into God’s will. If a husband and wife live for their own benefit and desire even after the Blessing, they are merely a reappearance of the fallen Adam and Eve. The fall starts from greed. If the Blessing is established in order that it surrender to your subjectivity, the Blessing is not fair.
For what did you come to this mountain peak? If you came here to be successful by listening to the words, you will perish. But if you are here to become a plus to your village, nation, world and heaven by listening to the words, you came to the right place. Even though Father appreciates you if you are here just to enjoy seeing him, this will flow away pretty soon. So you should set up a clear standard to do any sort of work if it benefits God.
If a husband and wife set up the foundation of thorough heartistic oneness, inheriting God’s ideology, future descendants will praise you eternally. The standard of such praise shouldn’t remain in one nation, but it should be the heartistic pivotal point which can be pursued by the whole world. In order to set up such a standard, your family should start with the determination to overcome any difficult environment.
What road have you walked? If you have been busy taking care of your sons and daughters, you won’t be
able to meet God in the spirit world. God lost all the created world by losing human beings. Therefore, even though you live with your sons and daughters, your mind should always live to love God and to accomplish God’s will. If their parents died through persecution while trying to accomplish God’s will, the sons and daughters will be proud of their parents’ life.
You should know that the more miserable the place you enter, the closer God is with you. Sometimes when I opened my eyes, a light was radiating in the sky. When God is with us, such phenomena take place. What a beautiful panorama! There are so many handsome men and beautiful women in the world, but they are nothing compared to such a scene. Such beauty can be seen only in the world of dreams. The place where beauty can be expressed completely is the ideal world-the Kingdom of Heaven we all desire. If a person like Mr. Park here saw such a phenomenon, he would forget to breathe out after once breathing in, keeping his mouth ajar in deep wonderment.
When we silently sacrifice everything for the sake of God, He will protect us. God surely will be at our side.
Your family should be the family of love, and you are to become the public husband and wife or parents centering upon God’s love. Don’t be the personal husband and wife or parents centering upon yourselves. Usually there is no public husband and wife, no public parents and no public sons and daughters in America. They are not walking the way of public love; instead they are walking the way of private love, in which the love of husband and wife, parents and children is centered upon themselves. Such love destroys the nation and the world.
When you become the center of the world after loving and sacrificing for the sake of the world, you automatically will be able to launch your individual love. Then God will love you.
