True Fathers Daily Words The Liberation of God and the Way of the Filial Child Cheon Seong Gyeong Book 1: True God Chapter 4: Section 6.1 The path of restoration True Father has walked I fully understand what it is like to determine to fulfill Gods will. I know what Gods love is like, and I know that I must both kneel in gratitude and walk the path to offer forgiveness. No one has known that God is filled with bitter grief that compels Him to walk the path of liberation even though His blood might be shed. I did not pray to God asking Him to save me even when I collapsed under torture; and though I was pursued, I did not pray to God asking Him to protect me on my path or to save me. As a man of character, I have my own reserve of strength. I have the spirit and the inner strength to fight. I say to myself, God will save me if I collapse unconscious due to lack of strength. But before that, with my own power... I know that God is waiting, preparing things in advance before I go. (138-358, 1986.1.24) God is with the Unification Church. If I were to lose my temper, thinking that good-for-nothing! and think to myself, You wait and see; just wait a couple of months, in the end that person would be broken in pieces. Wouldnt it be strange to see such a thing? That is why I bite my tongue and control myself. I cannot curse others with my mouth. As the True Parent, I cannot use my mouth to curse others. Even as I hold back my words, Heaven releases me completely from my bitter feelings. When you see this, dont you think God loves me? (162- 205, 1987.4. 1 2) At Seodaemun prison, a lady evangelist who had persevered for a time in the Unification Church but who then left after things did not turn out the way she wanted, said to me, Oh, this has turned out well for you. Would this happen to the son of God? I answered Yes, I am not someone who will disappear in prison. I will make great leaps toward a liberated world. I will never forget her face. I heard that she recently died in miserable circumstances, and I felt pity for her. This is how I live. I know everything about how the five presidents of Korea treated me. Yet I do not show this. I do not seek revenge. They did not know. I have to meet them and teach them. After saying what I need to say, I have to resolve everything. (204-118. 1990.7.1) When I came to this earth what position was I in? As the son, sibling, couple and parent in whom Gods heart of bitter pain remains, I stood in a position to indemnify and release Gods anguish at its pinnacle by giving the perfected love that could not be given before. (234-140, 1992.8.10) od embraced me again. How great it is to be in such a position! Just as God gave me His position, I must also give Gods position to all of you. (215-341, 1991.3.1) Looking back in history, forty years ago I was hunted by the nation and hunted by the established churches. My position was that of an orphan expelled into the wilderness. From such an awful position, I had to fulfill Gods requirement to restore the historical standard and create a global foundation! I had lost the victorious Christian cultural sphere that had been established on Heavens side after World War II, and the foundation of America, the nation that governs the free world. In the position of the owner, I could not help thinking about the intense grief of losing this foundation and about having to accomplish the task of restoration through indemnity again, over a forty-year period. Can you imagine how aghast I was, knowing clearly that I could have brought history to its conclusion -- something even God could not do for hundreds of thousands or millions of years! (135-187, 1985.11.13) I have accomplished these tasks oblivious to rain and snow. Nightfall was like dawn, and I would even forget to eat. I could not take this lightly because I knew God and felt the serious responsibility that comes with knowing God. More than anybody else, I knew how sorrowful God was. Thus, even if my body were torn apart, crumbled into dust and blown away, all those scattered cells could still cry out as Gods cells. I grappled with this path of death, accepting it as a worthy death for a man. As I grappled with this, people thought I would perish and disappear, but things have turned out like this. (137-178, 1986.1.1) Since I knew the great and bitter pain that was entrenched in heaven and earth, I had to comfort God even when I was vomiting blood. Who could ever understand the bitter reality of my position as the True Parent, in which I could not pray, I am about to die. God, please save me? Nobody knew of this. Only God. Only He understood my heart. Even though many people follow the Unification Church, none of them is one with my thought. All of you must understand this. A substandard Unificationist community cannot stand in the sphere of liberation. I know that the behavior of those who have received the Blessing is nowadays like that of the devils cousins. (145-332, 1986.6.1) God would offer a hundred thanks to the brave man who would confess that he has not fought enough, that he lacks the qualifications to shed tears, or that he is concerned that the Father would shed tears if He saw him in sorrow. God would offer those thanks to the brave man who, in the unbearably bitter position of being whipped, would worry that God would be in a miserable position or who would be concerned that God would shed tears when he cries through clenched teeth, My grief is nothing, my pain is nothing, my sorrow is nothing. God would offer those thanks to the brave man who would cry out and raise the flag of victory as the vanguard on the path to take vengeance upon the enemy. God would express His gratitude one hundred times, saying, Should I call you a patriot, should I call you a son of filial piety, or should I call you a virtuous person? In all the history of the world there has been no person more precious than you. (153-269, 1964.3.26) To this day, I, Rev. Moon, have walked a lonely path as an individual. Though it has been a lonely path, I know God more deeply than anyone else does. In history, many lonely people cursed their circumstances while asking for blessings. Yet, centering on Gods grieving heart, I did not think like those people. Instead, I said, God, do not worry. That is a different way. I am not a man to retreat due to personal trials. A man who pledges to die only after overcoming the trials of the world and liberating God cannot write a letter of surrender during that individual course. He cannot be cowardly. Even though my wife opposed me, my children opposed me and my parents opposed me, I cut them off in order to walk this path. I walked the path in spite of opposition by my nation of 40 million or even 60 million people. (175-257, 1988.4.24)
