Hak Ja Han - April 17, 2014

… Heaven worked through the Christian cultural sphere to make all preparations for fulfilling the promise of “sending the messiah in the last days,” given to the Israelites 2,000 years ago. However, when Christianity, originally chosen by God, failed and persecuted us more than anyone did, there was no place for True Parents to stand. The past 60 years resembled a wilderness course. You all went through much hardship.

… We all gave our best under difficult circumstances and much persecution. Still, when we look back on history, we were inadequate in many ways because we were not the ones originally trained or prepared for God’s providence. We also went through many trials and errors. For this reason, we must reflect on the past and renew our determination. We should repent and think especially about what mistakes we made, the way we have been practicing, and why we were unable to do more for the sake of heaven.

… You can give more from where you are. You should make twice as much effort to inform the people who live in this era but are still unaware of True Parents. Think about fulfilling in the next 60 years what we could not do in the past 60 years. If you have this way of thinking, heaven will continue to bless you regardless of your physical age.

… May is in the middle of the spring season. Providential history and Unification Church history began in spring. Life springs up in spring. We can embrace hopes and foster dreams in spring. True Father liked spring, and so do I. I only know spring songs. You must be thankful to live in this day as you are truly blessed people.
