Well, from the spiritual viewpoint, all moneys are complaining. They would say: "I do not want to belong to such and such person but to the USA" They will be asked: "What are you going to do by becoming the USA money?" They would reply: "I want to become money that belongs to the world." Well, they do not want to belong to an individual such as Mr. Smith, Mr. so and so. So I would ask again: "What are you going to do once you become the world's money?" "I want to be God's money." Then Rev. Moon would again ask: "What about becoming a bridge, leading from your home to America, the world, and God?" Then, the money would respond: "Ho, ho, ho! I welcome it."

I would say to the money: "If your owner offers a tithe with joy, all of you can go beyond the level of a family; you will be connected to a nation and thus become a bridge in the world." Everyone should make an offering with money. Then the money will be liberated. Moneys complain: "No one has made an offering with money so far, connecting it to God." Rev. Moon would say: "Then our fund-raising members will go to make such an offering thorough their fund-raising activities. Just wait for them." Then they would reply: "Yes, yes, we will."

Well, when you fund-raise, even if someone swears at you, you should never avoid him or her. Nor should you complain about it. This is the attitude of a person who prepares an offering. By so doing, everyone should shed blood. Money should shed blood too. Who makes that happen? It is you, or rather all of us.

Then the question is: Where can we collect money? It can be from beggars, the president or the first lady, criminals, successful people, janitors, thieves, etc.

By so doing, we resurrect the money as good, no longer evil. Then we can no longer make it our own. Once an offering is made, it belongs to the priest who conducted the offering. The person who made an offering should not touch even one penny out of it. The ownership is determined after the offering is made. Money, what is it? It is supposed to be an offering that should be used for the world and God.

Well, since money represents all things, only when we have such a heart can a way for all things to go to the Kingdom of Heaven be finally open, ending their lamentations. If you fail to do this, what happens? The family that does not use money properly will decline. The same goes with a nation. If you misuse money, all kinds of things will happen in your life. Therefore, you should not fight because of money. Even if I do not help you, you should not think: "Uh, why isn't Father helping me, using all money that I made from fund-raising?" You just do not ask for money back after making an offering. It is not proper. If the money is used for a higher purpose, that is all that matters. It will not be used for a low purpose. I do not have to use it for you. (125-188)
