#206-God Is the Standard of Righteousness
Cheon Seong Gyeong 1122
Consider the position of the true man who stands in a perfected state, or the position of the original Adam who is the perfected subject. When such a person has fulfilled his portion of responsibility, he inherits the seed of the original children of humankind. That must be in the position where God’s love, life and lineage will be inherited. He should have received that kind of a seed. Due to the Fall, this was fundamentally invalidated. (213-303, 1991.1.21)

If True Parents are the true olive trees, all of you are wild olive trees that need to be engrafted. You are like the lateral sprouts and branches. You will be able to grow properly in the original way only when new branches sprout from you. What did humankind become after they lost faith, love and substantial identity? Their lineage was overturned completely. That is why it must be overturned once again. When Nicodemus asked Jesus, “What must I do to enter the Kingdom of Heaven?” Jesus proclaimed a most important truth as his answer: “No one can see the Kingdom of Heaven unless he is born again.” (Blessed Family – 509)

Summary:
True generosity and leadership mean giving to others with a loving, parental heart without any hesitation, selfishness, or calculation. You should welcome even annoying or messy situations with patience rather than anger, as complaining about minor troubles can chase away your blessings. If you find yourself in an argument, the goal must always be to educate and bring people together for everyone’s benefit, never to create enemies. When sharing your food or resources, you must avoid being stingy, hiding what you have, or offering mere leftovers; instead, you should freely give the very best of what you have with joy, quickly forgetting your sacrifices and always putting the needs of others before your own.
Section 10. Social Relationships
10.1. People should not be treated lightly
A dog will enter the yard of even the best of houses to relieve itself. If the homeowner complains, “Oh! You dirty little dog! Why are you coming round to our house to defecate in our yard?” then he is chasing away his blessings. Instead, he should say, “Come on in and relieve yourself.” (60-158, 1972.8.19)
I am not saying we should not fight or argue. If both sides are going to benefit, then we should fight. We should not fight if one side would perish. We fight to educate and bring them to our side, not to make enemies. (104-33, 1979.3.25)
You have to give with a parental heart. You must not give centering on your own ambitions and wishes. Since the True Father has been doing it in this way, you must also do likewise. (11-268, 1961.12.14)
When you show love to people, you should not be stingy. You should not remember what you have invested. I want to give more…. Therefore, when you have something good to eat, if you are eating it hiding out somewhere alone, then you are a leader who is to going to decline immediately. If you have something to eat, then you should not eat it but save it. You should wish to give it to someone even if you cannot eat it yourself, and be thinking about the members because you cannot eat it alone. This is the type of person you should become. You have to become leaders who have nurtured this type of parental heart. (70-166, 1974.2.9)
When you give, how should you give? You should not give leftovers. If you give what is left over from your meal, then even after eating it, people will feel disgusted and spit. When you are giving rice cakes, for example, if you take a long time to select one out of the five, picking one up and then putting it down and then picking another, it is worse than not giving at all. When you give to others, if there are five, then you should have no hesitation in picking up half of them and handing them over. Then, people will thank you. Yet, if you are so hesitant and picky, then people will judge you even after they become indebted to you. For this reason, when you give, you should do so together with God and with a parental heart. (60-170, 1972.8.17)
