Is it a moment of pleasure or of sorrow that we shed sweat, tears and blood in our daily life? It is a moment of sorrow. At that moment, love, life and blood lineage also fade and the relationship between husband and wife fades, too. This kind of world is a sorrowful world, an unimaginable state of death. As the ancestors of human beings fell, we have to shed sweat, tears and blood. But, why has the situation become like that?
Sweat, tears, blood, love, life, and blood lineage all started from our fallen ancestors. If these things had been dealt with only in the world of human beings, the situation would have been easier. But, these sweat, tears, blood, love, life and blood lineage should have been related with God also. We have to know that it has been the most sorrowful fact that God has not been able to relate with this sweat, tears, blood, love, life and blood lineage.
In order to restore love, life and blood lineage, how much have I suffered through shedding God's sweat, tears and blood by the sweat, tears and blood of my brow? Human beings do not know about God's suffering course. How can God finish His history and life of regret? Is there any way for God not to need to shed sweat by my shedding sweat? We have to find the way by which God does not need to shed tears and blood, and we also have to go the way to restore love, life, blood lineage, nation and world in God's place. Then, when this kind of "I" has no tears by going these ways, God will also have no tears anymore. Everyone! Say "I"! How good it would be if I can console God by having more tears within me than God! However, from God's eyes, He has not seen the kind of person who tried to shed tears more than He does and offer Him those tears. This fallen world is such a miserable world.
If there are filial sons and daughters who shed sweat, tears and blood and make them God's, and who devote themselves to be responsible for God's anguish, God cannot help but become interested in those sons and daughters. Do you understand what I am saying? Will you become this kind of filial son and daughter? Or, will you just stay as a person who feels sorrow centering on your personal issues without knowing anything about God.
My sweat, tears, and blood should be God's sweat, tears and blood. When I feel joy, this joy should be God's, too. Without going this way, filial children, patriots, saints, and divine sons and daughters will never emerge in this world. So, I have to have a determination to make God's tears mine. This was my way in prison in North Korea 53 years ago. It was the way that Became the substitute who was responsible for all of God's sorrows. We have to become a substitute who sheds sweat, tears and blood instead of God. We have to become substitutes who bear a burden of love, and substitutes who embrace the regret of fallen life. We have to have a determination that we will restore the family that God has lost, and also restore the nation and the world.
Who am I? I am God's substitute; a substitute of God's love, life, and blood lineage. I am a substitute of God's family, filial child, patriot, saint and divine son and daughter. Then, what do I do next? I will become a successor of God. Amen. There is no way to become a successor of God without being a substitute of God.
When you look for your successor, you usually try to find a person who is superior to you. You will never look for a person who is inferior to you. It is true, isn't it? Do you want to inherit victory from Father, or not? (Yes, I do.) Aigo. The families of the Unification Church have to shed sweat, tears and blood. Sometimes we have to deny our parents. We have to deny everything, but are you really able to become a substitute, an absolute substitute? In order to become eternal and unchanging substitutes, we have to have absolute faith and absolute love, and devote ourselves 100% through going sacrificial ways.
Then, where will you go? Are you ready to go to the spirit world? Will you go there dying here in Korea or after going back to your country? Even if you plan to go to the spirit world after going back to your country, you have be determined to be ready to go to the spirit world from here in Korea. With this determination, you have to inherit the heart as God's substitute. Then, you can go back to your country in order to fulfill God's will in your country as a historical substitute of God. You have to go to the spirit world after you plant this heart in your country. This is God's call, which you have to be responsible for. If you cannot plant the highest standard as God's substitute in your country, you will become a hypocrite. If you have a determination to become God's substitute, raise your hand!
Say, "I am great." (I am great.) Why? "I" am great as God's substitute because I made God's sweat, tears and all of his anguish mine. When "I" am responsible for God's pleasure and sorrow as God's substitute, I will become a successor of God. Do you just "hope" to become like that, or will you actually "become" a successor? Who just "hopes" to be like this? No one wants it. You can really be God's substitute and successor when you become such a person: 1) who can embrace God's sweat, tears and blood in place of God, and 2) who can embrace the sorrow of God who has lost love, life and lineage, and 3) who can try to restore God's love, life, and blood lineage within yourself in place of God. Everyone who has the confidence to do this, clap your hands!
