Think Before You Speak

You may use words spontaneously, but if you make a mistake in choosing one word, its influence will last for one year.

    There is a reason why I have not been building churches until now. It is because we do not need many people in the church. God’s Kingdom is realized not from the church but from the family; that is to say, it starts from bride and groom. Woman was born in order to see man, and vice versa. The first cry a baby makes when it wakes up from sleep and opens its eyes is “Mommy!” Husbands should call their wives more than babies call their mothers. Those who do not do that are wretched people. Also, wives should call their husbands even more than that. They should relate to each other as a couple who can call each other like this. They should live like that as a couple in the joy of conjugal harmony. If they live like this eternally, they will not envy youth even when they get old. (23-54, 1969.5.11)

    The physical world is Satan’s sphere of activity while the spirit world is that of God. The two are constantly at cross-purposes. It is an undeniable fact that this has been an essential contributor to resentment in the age of the providence of restoration. They must not be at cross-purposes. The God-centered sphere of the mind and the sphere of the body governed by Him must be prepared. This standard for the unified foundation will be established according to how it is developed within the domain of daily life. (45-211, 1971.7.1)

Summary
Maintaining physical discipline and proper habits is necessary for living a principled life, which includes keeping fingernails and toenails short so as not to appear idle or cause yourself pain. Both men and women must practice correct posture by walking carefully and sitting up straight to keep their spines healthy, though women should avoid leaning their backs against chairs to protect their future babies. Sleep should be peaceful and quiet; women should avoid snoring by adjusting their pillows and must go to bed silently without stepping over a sleeping husband. True Father emphasizes that health is vital, and you should always maintain a happy expression that hides your sickness or worries from others. Finally, speech must be carefully guarded, as a woman’s voice should remain quiet and soft rather than loud, and all words must be deeply honest and rooted in love, since making a single verbal mistake can bring a year of spiritual consequences.  Continue reading “Think Before You Speak”

There Are No Evil People Among Those Who Have a Big Smile

You must inherit all the things that I have restored but you first need to do something to create a foothold. You don’t have a place to make an offering to God. If you want to transfer all the offerings from all the victorious altars throughout the world, you must build your own altar beforehand. So where is the place where you can transfer these offerings? That is the place we call Home Church! Do you understand?
    Home Church is the place where you can push yourself to complete the things that Adam did not complete. This means you must go over the world and then return. You are going out to the world and passing through conditions of atonement, but on a smaller scale. You can inherit my blessings through this smaller altar. You must first build an altar and then move the offering from the bigger altar to your smaller altar. An altar is a place of offering for the shedding of blood. What is Home Church? A ‘church’ still means making an altar and having to shed blood. You have undergone worldwide level hardship on a small altar in order to inherit the altar I have erected.
    How much has God suffered? How much has Jesus suffered, and how much have I suffered? Through all this suffering and effort, I possess the altar of victory. I want to hand it over to you. Home Church is for you to build up an altar and take over these things. (122-119, 1982.11.1)

    Thus I have been giving directions to the Soviet Union, the worldwide archangel, and to China, the Asian-level archangel. Then, by creating oneness between the archangel and Eve, with Japan in the position of Eve, I will bring Kim Il-sung to submission. I am bringing these people into oneness and then using that as a vehicle to move forward. If I can declare the Federation for World Peace in Pyongyang in this way, how good that would be! I will call Gorbachev, Jiang Zemin, the Japanese prime minister, President Bush, and so forth, to come. There is no one in Korea but me who says such things. Can the president do this? What will it take to do this? I have already laid that kind of foundation. (204-178, 1990.7.8)

Summary
Even though you cannot change the shape of your face, you must habitually manage your expressions to ensure you smile and laugh in a beautiful, balanced way. Women should avoid laughing loudly or with their mouths wide open if they have pointed teeth. A woman’s smile should bloom quietly and silently like a flower. When laughing fully, a person’s entire face—including the eyes, nose, and mouth—should move harmoniously together, as a bright, full smile indicates a loving heart and a generous character. Additionally, men should care for their hair as carefully as women do, following the standard of parting their hair on the left side so that there is more hair on the right half. Ultimately, these physical habits and expressions are important because a bright, well-rounded laugh reflects a good nature, whereas cold or disconnected expressions reveal a lack of inner heart.
