True Parents on Jeju Island in 1987.

I am proud of all of you, Seonghwa Hakseng [middle and high school students], who have come here today. I am certain that True Father would have been pleased with all your preparations and performances today. You are the dream of our Heavenly Parent and the lamps of hope that can illuminate the dreams of the True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind. Therefore, I hope you all grow well. Let us all think of the parable of the olive tree. In Jesus' day, the Israelites knew of God's blessings. The true olive tree came and the Israelites, who were represented by the wild olive trees, hoped to meet their true owner and become true olive trees too. Heaven realized that dream, yet, people in those days were not aware of it.

Considering this, all blessed children and Seonghwa hakseng that attend True Parents are the true olive trees to the seven billion people in the world. However, we cannot achieve our Heavenly Parent's dream by ourselves. Hence, you must let the numerous wild olive trees in the world know about True Parents. You must confidently reveal that you are True Parents' children in school and any other place you may be. This is witnessing. As students, you should be the top in your school; you should rank first in school. No matter what kind of environment you may be in, you are the best. You must recognize that people out there in the world are looking at you. What, then, should you do?

Shouldn't you study hard, grow well and become prominent figures? If you do that and are able to elevate yourselves to positions in which you can achieve together the ideal that True Parents have pursued, what do you think the world would say about you? You will then become victors. Please reach the front of that line. I hope you grow well, in healthy way, until the end.

Distinguished Guests from Home and Aboard, Ambassadors for Peace and Beloved Blessed Members from Around the World, Welcome. This year, 2013, was a historic and unprecedented year, starting with Foundation Day; we have now reached a point in which we must wrap up this past year and make preparations to usher in the new age and new hope of 2014, which is about to begin. However, things that have happened around us have made us quite cold.

Why does human history unfold with so much difficulty? Even though humanity had sought goodness according to the actions of their consciences all throughout humankind's long history, today we face an indescribably complicated era afflicted with racial problems, religious problems, ideological problems, territorial problems, boundary lines, defense lines and others.

HakJaHan-131215a-2.jpg

We cannot stand still. We know that God is working hard and not resting in order to conduct the providence. This problem arose because man deviated from the main track and the indemnity providence was necessary to enable human beings to return to the original track through their own efforts. However, this was a difficult problem for human beings to solve alone. Through the history of all religions, especially Christianity, the messianic idea came to us as our ultimate expectation. What kind of person is the Messiah? The Messiah is supposed to resolve everything about humanity that had gone wrong. For this reason, the Messiah must come as the True Parents. They must give birth again to humanity, which had fallen. Without such a procedure, there is no hope of resolving humanity's complicated history. We are grateful and amazed that True Parents appeared on earth.

Distinguished guests that have gathered here today and particularly ambassadors of peace, please fulfill all of your responsibility on the front line. Heaven's providence does not wait for us. There is a right time. We are at an important point of time when we should be in the position of true and devoted children that attune themselves to this time. Rev. Sun Myung Moon has been educating people under the motto, Love God, love people and love your country.

HakJaHan-131215a-3.jpg

Even if a person is not aware of the deep providence, the person will naturally be loyal to one's country if he or she has a heart that reveres Heaven and loves people. I sincerely hope that politicians in charge of the country will think of ways to help the country and love the people instead of pursuing their own interests alone. The mission of the peace army and peace police, which was formed by you, ambassadors of peace, is important. Ambassadors for peace from Korea and all other nations must take the lead in guiding others onto the path heading toward a world of peace.

Please consider this. Let us say that your country is not alone in revering Heaven, loving the people and loving the country and that surrounding countries do the same thing. If all countries had such a heart, will they be greedy? We are now concerned about Northeast Asia's situation.

What about seeing it in this light? In Isaiah 2:4, it says that a peaceful world can be realized when swords are beaten into plowshares.

HakJaHan-131215a-4.jpg

The yellow sand and fine dust flying from China is threatening our health these days. All living things are threatened. However, this is what I want to say to this country.

Just as is mentioned in the Bible, astronomical amounts of money are being wasted on military expenses; however, if only a third of it were invested in conducting a fertile land movement to plant trees in areas undergoing desertification, which makes up 30 percent of this land, what do you think will happen?

We must reveal the truth for this reason. The truth is that Heaven and humanity on earth have longed for and hoped for True Parents. If all nations do not attend True Parents as sibling countries... Only by achieving a culture of deep heart, in which nations live for each other's sake and love each other as siblings in front of True Parents can world peace be possible. The place we will be heading to after living such a life is the eternal world, the kingdom of heaven.

No matter how long our physical life may be, it will not pass hundred years. The reality is that we are living on earth by borrowing a possession of the creator, the original owner who is our Heavenly Parent. Do you understand what I am saying? We cannot claim any ownership.

Having borrowed it, you should use it well and return it in a state Heaven desires. Only by doing that can you enjoy eternal freedom, peace and joy in that other world. It is my hope that you can realize this point.

What should we do in order to live such a life? We must stand up. We must run out. It would be even better if you could fly.

We do not have much time left to us. How can we fulfill all that God wills on earth and be complimented -- Thank you my proud son, my proud daughter -- by our Heavenly Parent?

Let us all dash forward together with all our might until the clay we achieve the hope of Heaven and of humanity.

The majority of second-generation children drifted away

HakJaHan-131202-1.jpg

After the Israelites settled in Canaan, what direction did they take? They had to compromise with the world and could not live up to their pride and responsibility as the chosen people. And we clearly know through history how much trouble Heaven had to go through whenever such a thing happened. Well, how many second-generation children in Korea and members blessed by True Parents within the second-generation realm are there? Japan has over forty thousand. There would be more in Korea. They have to play a pivotal role for Cheon Il Guk; they have to lead this fallen world. However, haven't the majority drifted away? After Father's ascension, this was the first thing I wanted to resolve. We must be different.

The same thing happened with the two-thousand-year history of Christianity. The people of Israel failed to fulfill their responsibility and thus brought about the formation of Christianity, which for the past two thousand years has been waiting for the Returning Lord. However, Christianity did not know how the Messiah would return in reality and what kind of mission he would carry. As a result, there were many trials and errors. In short, Jesus' teachings just explained our father -- son relationship to God and to love our neighbors. This is a universal teaching taught by all religions that have appeared in the fallen world in pursuit of goodness. Jesus could not explain his mission and the purpose of his coming. What about his disciples? Were they decent disciples? As time passed, people started guessing that it would have been this way or that way and we know that Jesus' birth was actually not on Christmas Day. With the understanding that Jesus was born in the winter, they fit it in the season. We know that Jesus's birthday is on January 3, right?

Yet, this is the True Parent whom Heaven and humanity hoped and longed for. As a result of the Fall, fallen people received the lineage of Satan, the false parent and even if they had a conscience, it could not properly work. Conditions had to be set and indemnity had to be paid. Yet, they still don't know how to go about it. Thanks to True Parents, we now understand the providence and know the purpose for which we must advance. True Parents showed us everything by practicing it themselves. Please think about it. The children in the true family speak in this manner. We did not receive our parents' love. First-generation members were always in front of their parents. The older men were always the priority. This is how they speak. These older men, the first-generation members, had to create a good environment for the children. They did try but were inadequate in many respects. They were also inadequate when it came to having desperate hearts in front of the foundation by which Heaven would come down to us.

It took Heaven more than six thousand years to find True Parents. At a time when humanity's hope is about to come true, we are living with True Parents but have been only receiving love. The same thing happened with all foundations. We hoped that True Parents would do everything for us. We did not fulfill our responsibility as their children and as blessed families. As a result, second-generation members thought that there was no end to the suffering of their parents and came to the conclusion that suffering was nothing to boast about. They ended up drifting away as they tried to first be comfortable. That is because we did not fulfill our responsibility, starting with the thirty-six couples. If the providence is to be conducted in order, the children of the thirty-six couples must be the first to stand on the front line. We say we know the Divine Principle and respect the faith that True Parents have lived, but in reality we have been making compromises. However, it must be different now. True Parents perfected, concluded and completed the providence of restoration through indemnity and they proclaimed Foundation Day in front of us. They accomplished the purpose that God had when he created the entire creation and man.

HakJaHan-131202-2.jpg

If Adam and Eve had become one with God six thousand years ago, a new providence would have been achieved then. Even though Father suddenly ascended, he did so out of love to set up those first- and second-generation members that worked with him in positions of responsibility in order to save its once more. You must understand this. You must have only absolute faith and obedience. You must take the initiative on the front line in embracing all humanity in true love as your brothers and sisters. Women and the wives of those in positions of responsibility must take the lead. Do you understand? While I was preparing for the Holy Wedding with True Father, I made the determination to end this tiresome providence of restoration through indemnity. People think that Father alone is the Returning Messiah and that the Messiah is a man. However, it doesn't work with only a man. I had to go with him all the way to the end. I had to fulfill my responsibility.

You clearly understand the second part of the Divine Principle, right? I had to set them up indemnity conditions all by myself. That is the difference between you and me. I also had many critical moments. However, I was single-hearted in my devotion to liberate God. That is why I am confident in front of humanity as the True Parents. With the top gun workshop conducted, you must become one with me. We must become one. In a world of goodness without any trace of the Fall, everyone would know what God was thinking of. Even if I don't say anything, you should be able to think, What is True Mother thinking of? I'll do it for her in that way.

Wouldn't it be better for you to do something out of your own initiative than doing so under orders? Should this be the way it should be done? In this light, you should be able to bring together all blessed families who are your brothers and sisters. Physical life is short. No matter how long we may live, we cannot guarantee living a hundred years in good health. Don't you have to at least ensure that when blessed second-generation members and your sleeping brothers and sisters go to the spiritual world, they are able to confidently raise their heads and live in gratitude to you saying, Thanks to you, I could grow this much.

If you think of them as your brothers and sisters, can you leave them alone? It is my hope that you put everything in order. That is why when I called you, I thought of giving you all something I had worn before. While I attended Father, I lived the life of a gypsy. I could not settle down. I was always on the move, living a wandering life. Some of the places had four seasons. For those who have travelled before, it is quite uncomfortable to go around with silk clothes like this which need to be ironed. So when packing, I had to find clothes that would not crease but still look beautiful when worn. People around the world think I am beautiful. What about you?

In the 1980s, the period before and after True Father went to Danbury, many world-level senior scholars would meet for science conferences. Many of these meetings were held during the Thanksgiving period. Whenever such a meeting was called for, world famous scholars and top leaders would meet and True Parents welcomed them in a receiving line. All these participants held high positions in society and when they raised their heads in front of Father and shook hands, Father would then introduce me as his wife. Do you know how they responded? They would look at True Father and say, "You are a lucky man." This is how popular I was.

We have tremendous responsibilities

Are you resolved to become devoted sons, devoted daughters and central figures that will find and return God's hometown? Our mission is so immense, but we do not have much time to handle all these responsibilities. What should we do about it? I am sure that many of those among you have already heard of the dream I had of Father that I spoke of during the last pastors' assembly. Father, who is supposed to be calmly resting in heaven, is not taking care of himself. He is going through great difficulty trying to find even one lost child. Even now, this image remains vivid in my mind. He looked so miserable. If he were on earth, he would have been quite active, moving back and forth between the east and west. We, who are on earth, must therefore fulfill our responsibilities. Why does the Bible mention that the key to the kingdom of heaven was given to Peter? It is because responsibilities must he completed on earth.

We have tremendous responsibilities; yet, even though we have received the blessing and know what path to follow, we have been incapable of pushing through the self-centeredness, family problems and the surroundings that have worn us out in our lives within the fallen realm. I wonder if you have heard of Maitreya Cho Han-jun before. He is an ancestor of my maternal grandmother that displayed loyalty to the country. He invested his whole fortune to do something no one else could do, saving the dignity of the country as a result. He built a stone bridge, which was quite famous in those days. Thanks to his contribution, he saved the face of the Joseon Dynasty Lee clan. Heaven blessed him for this reason. In other words, Heaven recognized his service.

Sun Jin nim and her husband, Kwon Jin nim and his wife, Jeong Jin nim (at left with True Mother) and senior members from throughout Korea joined True Mother for a Christmas party at Cheon Jeong Peace Palace on December 25.

Sun Jin nim and her husband, Kwon Jin nim and his wife, Jeong Jin nim (at left with True Mother) and senior members from throughout Korea joined True Mother for a Christmas party at Cheon Jeong Peace Palace on December 25.

As a result, Heaven planned to send the son of Heaven through his family. After investing his entire fortune and completing the stone bridge, he found himself left with only three brass coins. He could neither use nor throw away the money. He noticed that his straw shoes had worn out while his mind was solely focused on the bridgework, so he bought straw shoes with the money. These three brass coins became a source of accusation in front of Heaven. Hence, Heaven ended up telling him that instead of a heavenly son, I will send you a heavenly daughter. Heaven will remember your contribution.

He woke up after having this dream and found a statue of Maitreya on a river bank that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere -- a stone image of Buddha. This is the truth. It was probably recorded in the Cho clan records. The three brass coins became a problem. This applies to our life of faith too.

Among those of us that have kept this faith, no one can confidently say he or she has invested everything, 100 percent or 120 percent in front of Heaven. We are doing less than even grandfather Cho Han-jun. Do you understand? We need to change our thoughts. The remaining life ahead of us is shorter than the life we have lived. How can you reach complete unity with True Parents of the heart, body and thought? You should always remember this and live a life of practice. Only by doing so will you and your future descendants receive blessings. Let us say you achieved 70 percent of your responsibilities and the remaining 30 percent must be indemnified. No parents, however, would want to leave such indemnity to their future descendants or beloved children. Do you understand what this means?

The world will gradually become one. Amidst this, Northeast Asia is going through difficulties. We are the only people that can educate others about this. The ambassadors of peace whom Father established.... Father talked about the peace police and peace army. Right? The peace army and peace police are to bring order within this disorganized and messy world and take charge of education. I am not saying here that they should fight with arms but with the word. I will speak about this on the fifteenth. Please offer many prayer conditions. All blessed families and all providential organizations established by Father should unite and ensure that the word given to us by Heaven and True Parents does not drop on the ground but yields fruit. This path alone is your responsibility as people living in this age.

"Have you determined yourselves to become filial children and patriots who establish the fatherland of the Heavenly Parent and True Parents? We have little time to be able to fulfill such a big responsibility. True Father should have been resting in peace in the spirit world, but True Father's image, which was always serious with the desire to save God's lost children more than with caring about his physical body, has not yet erased itself from my mind. We on Earth must fulfill our responsibilities."

"When we become one in heart, body and mind with our True Parents during our brief time on Earth, our descendants will receive heavenly fortune. When we can't accomplish our responsibilities, we will turn over the path of indemnity to our descendants. We shouldn't leave them take on the responsibility of indemnity."

In reference to the current political issues in east and north Asia, True Mother said, "From now on, the world cannot help but become one. As the east and north Asian regions move towards becoming one, they are currently experiencing difficulties such as the kind felt at giving birth. The process is that painful. It is only us Unificationists who can put in to order and educate such a messy world. It is not with weapons but through education of the truth that we will do this. My message will be given with such content at the event held on Dec. 15th."

She also emphasized that all Unificationists must offer more Jeong Seong in prayer towards these goals.

Dinner for the Champumo Gyeong Compilation Committee

HakJaHan-131130-1.jpg

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for your hard work and dedication. The very first determination I made after True Father's ascension was to dedicate this scripture. A few days ago, I spoke at the Korean pastors' assembly about a dream I had.

I was busy with a lot of work and could not accompany True Father. Then, I thought I had to find Father. No one, however, knew where Father was. It then came to my mind that the spiritual world had a modern system installed and asked that a remote control be brought in. Once I turned a screen on, Father's location came up directly. When I found Father, he was sitting outside in a sunny place. Father was sitting there and members were sitting by his side. The atmosphere between Father and the members was one in which they were asking questions and Father was giving answers. However,

Father seemed to be waiting for more members to come. When I looked closely at Father, I realized he looked quite exhausted.

So I told Father, "Please come here." In reality, however, when Father did Hoon Dok Hae for a long time and was quite exhausted, I tried hard, using different methods to conclude Hoon Dok Hae early, but it usually didn't work out. In the dream, however, Father came shortly afterward. I noticed how his lips were black and not even blue. That is how exhausted he was. My heart pained a lot seeing Father waiting for one more life under such difficult circumstance. There are probably those among you who have had a lot of experiences with Father conducting long Hoon Dok Hae sessions and then receiving taffies and candies whenever one of our grandchildren will come into the room. Within the dream, I also prepared pumpkin taffies as I went to look for Father. I told Father, "I will go to the members there, distribute these pumpkin taffies among them and explain to them the situation. Hence, please have lunch and rest a bit." Father compliantly listened to what I said. He took an envelope out of his pocket that had two million won in it and gave it to me, telling me to distribute it among the members who were there.

True Parents in early 1988

True Parents in early 1988

So I attended Father on that side and when I went to the other side, I noticed another house next to it and saw a room. Within that room, I saw men in suits talking about themselves. That scene seemed to be depicting your life of faith today; you say you are conducting a life of faith and are attending True Parents; yet, you have fallen short of the foundation expected by True Parents and have been humanistic and self-centered, thinking and worrying about yourselves. Father's last words... Their attitudes weren't centered on single-minded practice through absolute faith, absolute love and absolute obedience.

I remember their attitude. Weren't you chosen as blessed families from among fallen humanity by True Parents? Are you all blessed members?

Even though you are still very inadequate compared to the foundation True Father hopes for, you have been blessed indeed through partaking in this work of arranging Father's teachings. Are you aware of the indescribable glory and blessings you have received through it?

Please ensure that this work is well done so that Father no longer has to worry and be concerned. This scripture, through which our descendants will always be educated in accordance with the standard desired by True Parents, will be the only textbook, the very first and last eternal textbook. With such determination, I ask you to do your very best. Will you do that? Thank you. Please do your best to ensure that there is no cause for accusations and that True Parents' status is elevated by it. Become one with a heart that you will accomplish this very first, supreme and historic task of compiling Father's teachings. I hope you can do this task well with a heart of gratitude from that standpoint.

Did you all enjoy your time here? Did you all say, I love you, to Heaven with a heart of gratitude? While enjoying nature, did you pledge in front of it saying, I will become a blessed member, pastor, and leader that you want me to become?

How did nature respond? Did nature say you are doing your best? Did it say that you can never trick nature? When a farmer plants seeds, the farmer must pour so much dedication and love into the work. How does nature repay the farmer? Nature replies to that love with a big, beautiful harvest. Nature does not lie.

As for my message to you today, I would like to first ask whether you know you are historic figures. Thanks to whom could you become such figures? You could become historic figures through True Parents. They are the hope of humanity. Are you aware that you carry responsibility? You don't? This is quite early in the day. I talked about UPA with the president of FFWPU-Korea. What I would like to ask of you all is for first- and second- generation to unite at this time of a new start. Have you made individual preparations for the future? Are you doing that?

I asked Rev. Lu, the president of FFWPU-Korea, about your average age and he told me you were in your mid-sixties on average. What do you think of this? You probably think, We are definitely not in our full youth and have become a bit older.

There is no guarantee that your body will be healthy for a hundred years. Right? Passing sixty or seventy means that you have already received the date when you will go to the eternal world. As pastors and leaders, how much of a good environment were you able to create from your surroundings? This is quite important. You cannot obtain the results or fruits just by talking.

Don't you all wonder what Mother is like? Do you already know a lot? There might be first-generation members who may think, I know True Father quite well but I do not really know True Mother.

HakJaHan-131121a-2.jpg

Those who had the opportunity to visit the Won Jeon may know that my grandmother, Won Mo Cho, is also buried there. Did you know that? She is the grandmother within the mother providence. Heaven's providence made preparations for a long time to send the Returning Messiah to the Korean Peninsula. Even though the history of Christianity in Korea is short, she was unlike other: Christians within this short history who were waiting for the Messiah to return on the clouds. Her family prepared and waited for the Returning Messiah to come in the flesh.

According to Father, the mother of the universe must come from a family with only one daughter for three-generations. Grandmother Cho is my maternal grandmother and was the only daughter. Dae Mo Nim [Soon Ae Hong] was also the only daughter. So was I. What is quite profound and intriguing was that when Father first saw me, he asked, "What is your name?" After I gave him my name, he suddenly closed his eyes and said, "I offer my gratitude to Heaven for making so-and-so to be born in Korea." When I was blessed in 1960, Grandmother Cho ascended. However, she passed away knowing whom I was getting married to.

This happened in the early 1960s. First-generation members will probably know this. There was a Buddhist saint called Yoon cheong jeong shim, who was well known even in political and financial circles. This person came to me one day and talked about Grandmother Cho. I told him she was my grandmother. The Buddhist monk then accurately drew Grandmother Cho. Grandmother Cho, who knew True Father's mission, had appeared in front of this monk and told him to make fitting preparations. The monk did make those preparations in reality. He was quite famous in those days. True Father and I tried to bless him and told him we wanted to. However, he replied that he had set up a standard of conditions to offer and still had some left to do. He wanted to complete them before receiving the blessing. However, he ended up going to the spiritual world one day. I thought that was the end, but Grandmother Cho then instructed a lady in the Lee clan in the same field as the Buddhist monk to make the same preparations. This lady made the preparations after consulting with the Korean headquarters. That was when Father was in Danbury.

We all know how important an object for the condition is through the Divine Principle. True Father had to be crowned as the king of kings through the Christian foundation, upon which he came as the Messiah. However, this Christian foundation in the United States sent True Father to hell. They incarcerated him in prison. Since Father had to be crowned as the king of kings, Grandmother Cho instructed this lady to make the necessary preparations. The ceremony was then conducted with Father when he briefly came out of prison. You have never heard about this. I am the only person who knows it. This is how the providence has developed through generations in a family.

Did you conduct the Coronation of God's Kingship Ceremony or the Entrance to Cheon Jeong Gung? Did you help True Father? Who helped him? I fulfilled my responsibility as True Mother. This also applies to you. You stand today in a new historical age and at the center of the Cheon Ii Guk era. If we are to speak in terms used in the secular world, you are noble families. What is a noble family? It means you are part of the realm of the imperial family. You have entered the realm of the imperial family. However, did you prepare for your future descendants? As pastors and leaders in charge of organizations and businesses, did you make the necessary preparations to continue the family line? If you do not make those preparations, the lineage of your prestigious families will end at the first-generation. Do you want to be in such a state? Please answer with louder voices. Then, what do you have to do? You must ensure that the family line is carried on in your families and that they become loyal noble families. What happens when someone says, "so-and-so's father and mother were completely dedicated as first-generation members, but the family line has been cut off." This is serious.

Haven't I established UPA in order to help you? I have made a better environment for you in all details; hence, you must fulfill your responsibilities. What do you think of that? In order to fulfill my mission as True Mother, I have led the providence and ensured that it is carried on by future generations in this way, so that you can reach Heaven through the Unification community and all of True Parents' work. You will shed tears of gratitude for Heaven's great blessings and love. Heaven has prepared such a good environment for you, but you are now the problem.

I actually did not want to come to Yong Pyong. When True Father was still alive, you received a lot of pumpkin taffy whenever you came for Hoon Dok Hae. Right? Do you remember the pumpkin taffy? I have brought some here today. I decided to bring this taffy with me because I had a dream of Father. In that dream, I was too busy and was moving around. Father went out. I looked for Father. I somehow turned on a screen with a remote control and could find where Father had gone. I realized that the spiritual world also had a modern system installed. When I found Father, he was sitting. He seemed to be waiting for members. There were a few young members on the side. When they asked questions, Father explained the answers to them. However, when I saw Father close up, I realized he looked exhausted.

I said to Father, "Father, please come." Then Father compliantly came. When I saw him coming, I noticed how his lips were black and not even blue because of extreme exhaustion. Then I told Father, "Father, it is lunchtime. Please have lunch. I will distribute some pumpkin taffy among those members."

Father gave me something he took out of his pocket. It was two million won. He told me to give it to the members that were there. I received it and made Father rest. I then distributed the pumpkin taffy. I noticed a room in one corner and people in it, wearing suits. Those people seemed to be pastors. Father was waiting for them outside and they were talking among themselves. What did I do? I told them to get their acts together. I feel that this may be an honest image of you.

Did you empty your minds during the two days? Do you pledge to invest too percent, 120 percent and fulfill your responsibility for God's will? The image that the spiritual world showed of you is too weak. It is inadequate. This is what I saw. You say that you love True Parents, but I feel that you have loved True Parents less than you love yourselves, your children and those related to you. Now, don't you always talk about absolute obedience at all cost as you lead your life of faith? However, do your bodies listen to that completely? I heard that this assembly ends tomorrow. Please deeply reflect on this problem once again and make fresh starts as new people. I have come all this way with the hope that you can establish noble families that remain for eternity in the era of Cheon it Guk.

You are truly blessed people. The more you offer conditions for Heaven, Heaven will repay you back in multiples. It is my hope that you fully experience all of these in your lives. Do you understand? I feel a bit overwhelmed as I reminisce about the past. I will stop speaking here. Since I have come here, I would love to hear three songs from you.
