The Words of the Klotz Family |
Anyonghaseyo, dear brothers and sisters!
Here again some inspiration, based on the words of True Family:
True Father: "What is the Kingdom of Heaven? It is the place where you love the people of the world as your own family, and people who do this are the people of the Kingdom of Heaven." [1]
And where does the Kingdom begin?
True Father: "Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is within you." According to that statement, where does the Kingdom of God have to begin? It must begin within each person. All believers today, including ourselves, are longing to dwell in the Kingdom of Heaven. We must think, "Within me is the Kingdom of Heaven and, because of me, that Kingdom is possible." [2]
Because of "me" the Kingdom is possible! And how do we make it possible?
True Father: "I pray that they [the Unification members] can be protected on all sides by the shield of love, and learn to walk the path of tradition as they march toward the Kingdom of Heaven and become the representatives of heavenly love." [3]
Walking the path of tradition means to love and embrace all mankind with God-like love:
True Father: "As blessed couples, you are inheriting that tradition [True Parents' tradition]. You must receive it and uphold it, clean and pure. In order to inherit that tradition, you must become like the True Parents. You must live like them and embrace heaven and earth, the entire world and humanity. Then you can say, "Yes, Father, we inherited that tradition." [2]
By following this tradition we become representatives of heavenly love, divine love, true love. Embracing the entire world means to embrace every person we encounter, no matter if good or bad, black or white, no matter what religion or nationality. It means to love everyone, including, of course, our enemies. That will certainly bring about the Kingdom of God:
True Father: "From the moment you can love your enemy, the Kingdom of Heaven shall come." [4]
True Father: "As members of the Unification Church, we must love everybody. First we must love our enemies, whether some personal enemy or some enemy on the family level. We must love them more than anybody else. " [5]
The more of us develop such levels of love, the faster this world will be transformed into the Kingdom:
True Father: "If you have such great love that you can love even your enemy, that power will melt everything. God needs a movement that can melt the wrong world down and change it into the right one. " [4]
A whole movement of people with such quality of love is certainly powerful enough to transform this world in a short time, into the Kingdom of God. It all depends on the quality and content of our heart and love:
Heung Jin Nim: "If you do not have the right heart first, all the organization in the world won't make any difference. The heart is the most important thing, the heart. What is your heart? What is the content of your heart? What is the level and depth of your heart? What is the level and depth of embracing people and feeling responsible?" [6]
It all starts in our heart, with our love, not with organization or the like:
True Father: "Please allow us to understand that unless we achieve the heavenly kingdom of the heart and of peace in ourselves, the glorious heavenly kingdom has nothing to do with us." [7]
Only if we make all the effort to become heavenly people with a heavenly heart, will we establish the Kingdom of God and will also be able to enter it. And heavenly people love everyone, even unlovable ones, even those who hate them:
True Father: "Reverend Moon is one man who has been embracing everyone, including good people and evil people, trying to melt all their qualities with the true love of God. No one has thought in that fashion, let alone lived his/her entire life that way. Without a doubt, all mankind shall come under this one tradition. The True Father and True Mother have committed their lives for the sake of their mission, for embracing the enemy world." [2]
True Mother: "My husband and I have forgiven the unforgivable and, for the sake of humanity, loved enemies unlovable... No matter how unjust the persecution we receive, we do not blame anyone, rather we love them. When we overcame ordeals in this manner, blessings that we could not even imagine, took place." [8]
And we have to do the same. Then the providence will advance fast and God's Kingdom will emerge, out of the chaos and misery of the fallen world: True Mother: "All of us desire to live in happiness in a world of peace. We can attain this dream. Let us forgive our enemies, love our neighbours as if they were our own flesh and blood, and unite for the sake of peace. Let us advance toward one world under our Heavenly Parent. Join me in marching courageously forward until the day all people can live as brothers and sisters, as one great family." [9]
True Father: "Some people think that if I die then the Unification Church will fade and die. Why won't this happen? I am ringing the bell of love with all my might, and if I die then millions of Reverend Moons will come forward to ring the bell in my place. " [10]
The more of us ring the bell of divine love with all our might, the faster the Kingdom will emerge.
