   The Blessing brings inheritance of the foundation of a connection with the lineage of God’s true life. Since there are people in both the spiritual and physical worlds who have inherited His lineage through the Blessing, He is able to have full dominion over them. Thus, even now, with full authority He is freely pressing ahead with re-creation and the providence of restoration without needing to set up indemnity conditions. Hence, the question at hand is whether you can stand in the position of His object partner with such conviction. Once you have made your resolution to unite with the standard of absolute faith, love and obedience, everything can be rapidly put in place in the equalized world.  

    Every one of you should practice absolute love and obedience. The families in Eden had nothing in their name. Had they become true sons and daughters, standing in oneness with God and His absolute love and lineage, everything in the whole universe would have belonged to them, as God originally intended to bequeath everything to His children. Once you have attained oneness with God through love, everything will become yours.
    You should not believe that everything you have in your possession truly belongs to you. Of the things you can possess, the greatest of all is God’s love, and the greatest thing you can become is a family of His sons and daughters who are eligible to receive His love. This comes first. When that was lost, everything was lost. Conversely, through its recovery, you can recover everything. In order for you to establish such a family centering on God’s love, you must create it from a position of possessing absolutely nothing and connect the foundation of absolute faith, love and obedience with the ideal. Having this original standard, you must stand in the position of being denied even by the satanic world.

    If the True Parents had not come to the earth to teach people the fundamentals, those people will have problems when they pass on to the spirit world. Through this teaching being conveyed to every village and town in the world, the spiritual and physical worlds can be completely united. Thus, the 360,000 Couples Blessing held this year was truly great. At the end of the forty-year course, we were able to achieve, along with the liberation of women through the appearance of the True Mother, the 30,000 Couples Blessing. The reason the number of couples was set at 30,000 was in order to establish a new foundation of the Blessing in the world, based on the True Mother standing on the global level and involving Cain and Abel. That ceremony was the formation stage, and so this latter ceremony, the 360,000 Couples Blessing, can be said to be the growth stage. Through it, God is keeping the world in pace with His providence by focusing everyone’s attention on the problems of the family.
    At the moment, the whole world has become like hell. However much nations may take pride in being advanced, they must bow their heads in shame over the problems of the family. Families have completely broken down to the point that no one can tackle their problems. The situation is so serious that no economic, military, or political power can deal with it. (272-179, 1995.10.5)

CHAPTER THREE

Our Course of Life
Centered on Love

Section 5. God’s Blessing Allows You to Inherit
Love and Joy

A glorious new morning will dawn when God assumes a physical
body. The time He can love His grandchildren is a time more
glorious than the time He can love His sons and daughters. How
do you think God expressed His joy to Adam after having created
him? God had to teach Adam about His parental joy, but that can
be learned only when the children have their own sons and
daughters. Children cannot know what parental love is like, but
they do come to understand after having babies and a family.
They understand that their parents loved them while raising them.
Therefore, the day when your child takes a spouse is a day of
glory, and the day your child has a child is a day of glory. (Blessed
Family – 934)

You should know God’s love. You should experience your parents’
love and learn how to serve them. You should all experience
conjugal love with your spouses and learn how to serve them. You
should know your children’s love. Do not just give orders to your
children, but learn how to understand and serve them as well.
Only then can you understand God’s love. Without children, you
are in an incomplete state. You cannot understand God’s love.
You cannot understand how much God loved human beings, His
children. Furthermore, without being a husband, you cannot
know the wife, and without being a wife, you cannot know the
husband. Children do not know what parents’ love is like until
they become parents. So without sons and daughters, you cannot
be true parents. (133-138, 1984.7.10)

Parents want their children to be married because they want to
bequeath to them and completely teach them of parental love.
When parents die, they leave their real selves behind with their
descendants. This is why they need descendants. Love is
something that continues forever. Since love is the highest human
desire, everyone wants to inherit it with their arms wide open.
When parents bequeath their love to their descendants, they can
stand proudly before God in the spirit world. It is through the
family that love becomes complete. Going to the heavenly
kingdom through the family means that the realm of oneness of
love has been realized. (Blessed Family – 934)

People should follow this principle. Seeds are sown in the spring;
in summer, plants develop fully; and in autumn, they bear fruit. In
winter, you should put things in order and carry the essence of
this new seed of life deep within your heart. Only then will you
have seeds to plant again when spring returns. This means that in
the future you should be parents and raise sons and daughters like
yourselves. (26-158, 1969.10.25)

Why do people feel sorry when they do not have sons and
daughters? They feel sorry because they cannot form a circle.
When you see birds feeding their young, you can recognize the
deep love of the mother bird. Western people may not know this,
but in the Orient, children are liked more than adults. People
show polite respect for adults, but they show the utmost love for
children. You can realize how much your parents loved you when
you have your own sons and daughters and raise them. (Blessed
Family – 934)

Everyone should get married and have and raise their children so
they can know both children’s love and parental love. It seems that
western people are not like this. They avoid having and raising
sons and daughters. They hesitate to have children because the
children may limit their freedom to marry and divorce. But when
people fail to establish the four-position foundation, they cannot
go to the Kingdom of Heaven because they do not know God’s
heart of loving people. (Blessed Family – 934)
