Our Family Pledges to Build the Kingdom of God on Earth and In Heaven

Cheon Seong Gyeong 135

In my background there were many
incidents that evoked indignation at
unjust treatment. Although many were
very terrible to endure, I clenched my
teeth and focused on occupying Cain’s
world. I had to digest the Cain world
rather than merely Cain as an individ-
ual and his family. How bitter this has
been! It was as if I had to melt something
as frigid and huge as an iceberg. Digest-
ing this bitterness, I have had to silently
bring Satan to submission. He has been
our arch enemy since time immemori-
al. He brought God and humankind to
ruin. (163-163, 1987.5.1)

You have lived in a world of water
and in the world of land, haven’t you? So
then, would you want to have the experi-
ence of living in the aerial world or not?
When you were about to be born from
the womb, did you think such things as,
“I will go out to the world of land and eat
honey, rice cakes, rice, beef, and every-
thing else with this mouth?” Do you sup-
pose you gave it any thought? You were
breathing through the umbilical cord
and thinking that you would die if you
came out of the womb. If we reflect on
life in the womb, how confining it would
seem to be! If we think about it now, it
seems stifling. Despite that, when a baby
is about to come out from the womb, he
or she inevitably protests, “Oh, I don’t
want to go out.” Even though he says
that he doesn’t want to, when the time
comes, everything comes bursting out.
He comes out naturally along with the
gush of the amniotic fluid. In this way,
the baby is born through a safe and nat-
ural process. (49-286, 1971.10.17)
