Note: On January 5, 2009, at the Small Hall of Cheonseong Wanglim Palace, Dae Mo Nim gave words to the Seunghwa Students who were participating the ‘3rd Chungshim Family Blessed Children Special Workshop,’ and emphasized that 2nd generations who are children of God must lead a life that resembles God.

Annyeonghaseyo.

Did you do you best during this period? (“Yes!”) 2nd Generations are the children of God and True Parents. Does God have the heart of jealousy, hot-bloodedness, hatred, lie, greed, thought of ‘myself’, and arrogance? Or doesn’t he? (“He doesn’t!”) On the other hand, Satan has those hearts of jealousy, hot-bloodedness, hatred, lie, greed, thought of ‘myself,’ and arrogance. You must resemble God as you live your life. Your lives must become beautiful in order for you to resemble God. Listen to your parents really well, unite with siblings, do your best with studies at school and become children who will try their best with life of faith.

There are good parts of your life that you have lead until today. Although there are many great parts, there are still many more parts of your life that you could improve on. Just then, the lecturer said, ‘Let’s do it before our parents tell us so.’ Didn’t he say this? Also, he mentioned, ‘Let’s wake up before our mothers come and wake us up.’

The Path to Heaven

You know about the ‘Path to Heaven’ right? What child is, did I say, is considered a good child?

I said that a good child shouldn’t have any problems related to alcohol, cigarettes, and problems with the other sex, didn’t I? (“Yes!”) All of that is absolutely, NO! This is because; God hates alcohol, cigarettes, and lewdness, the most.

You are the children of God. God’s children must resemble God. Therefore, all aspects of your life must resemble God.

You mustn’t fight with others, you mustn’t drink alcohol, you mustn’t smoke cigarettes, and you mustn’t have friends of the other sex before receiving the marriage blessing. Especially the teenagers, do you understand? (“Yes!”)

During this workshop, Divine Principle lecture was in your program. By the way, if you lead a wrongful life even after reading so many words of the principle, it’s unforgivable. Instead of you, your parents will have to bear the responsibility.

If by any chance a 2nd Generation of a blessed family would drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, and have friends of the other sex, just like the general children, then that is a wrongful thing. Do you understand? (“Yes!”) You must never do such thing. Also, the 2nd and 3rd Generations of a blessed family must never tell a lie. A lie will produce sins. When you lie to your parents, lie to your teacher at school, lie to your church leader at church will, reluctantly, develop into a sin. That is why you mustn’t lie. Do you understand? (“Yes!”)

Who do you have to resemble? (“God!”) Since you are the child of God, you must resemble God. Furthermore, since True Parents are our parents, we also must resemble True Parents. In doing so, you become junior-high school students, high school students, and university students who will receive the marriage blessing. After receiving the marriage blessing, you will live your life with sons and daughters and even after going to the spirit world; you are able to live with God and True Parents.

Let’s have Family Services on Saturdays

What do I repeatedly say to you at each workshop? In Korea, there is a proverb, ‘The habit of a 3rd year old will last until 80.’ However, I told you that, ‘the habit of a 3rd year old will last forever.’ Therefore, you must continuously do your best in becoming a good child.

‘The habit of a 3rd year old will last forever.’ Therefore, you must start doing your best starting today. It’s wrong to think, ‘I am going to lead a good life after I reach adulthood,’ or ‘I will live a good life after I give birth to a son and a daughter.’

A habit lasts forever; therefore, if you become a good child now, you are able to become a good adult in the future. Thus, you will enter into a good spirit world once you become a good adult. Do you understand this process? (“Yes!”)

When you return home, who do you have to listen to? (“Parents!”) Is there any child here who will be mad and not listen to their parents after being instructed? That is a bad child. You must acknowledge that your parents are scolding for you and educating you, so you mustn’t be angry towards your parents.

Generally speaking, children will gradually not listen to their parents as they get older from junior-high school, high-school, to university. However, it’s wrong to think, ‘Why do my parents still interfere with my life?’ Your parents are eternally your parents so that is why you should listen really well.

Do you pray before you sleep at night? Do you also pray in the morning when you wake up? Do you pray before you eat breakfast? Do you offer bows at Ahn Shi Il? Are you doing this? You must offer a bow on Ahn Shi Il.

Also, please propose to you parents, ‘To do Family Service on Saturday.’ Propose to your father and mother, ‘Before we meet with God, let’s have a Family Service on Saturday, make it a time where we can share the good things and bad things for the week,’ and create a family service on Saturday.

That kind of attitude must be customized in our lives. From this week, you must attend the service for Ahn Shi Il and do the Family Service. Then, you should also go to church on Sunday. I think you are able to do so. Is that clear? (“Yes!”)

This workshop was really great right? (“Yes!”) Was it good or bad? (“It was great!”) Would you come to the summer workshop? (“Yes!”) I intend to prepare exciting programs other than Divine Principle lectures. So I ask you to lead a good life until summer holidays. I also pray that you would become filial sons and daughters of piety in front of True Parents of Heaven, Earth and Humankind.

What did I say about 2nd Generations coming into rank at school? (“Can get in 1st to 5th!”) The 2nd Generations are really intelligent. That is why, if you put in effort, you can do it. You cannot just watch TV, play video games and play with your friends without any effort. Do you understand? (“Yes!”) I will end my speech here by hoping that you would become better people. Please do your best after you return home.
