What shall we do when we receive God's love? God has total love for us. How much is that? How much should we invest returning it? The saying, "Sincerity moves Heaven is a Korean proverb, but also it is truly the natural order of things. The words, "Do it with utmost sincerity," means do it with all your efforts, inside and outside, heart and soul. Also, "Practice everything with sincerity in your words and deeds," means to completely unite your body and soul in a conscientious life. This is a life of dedication. This is what we call utmost sincerity or "jongsong." In the Korean word, "jong" refers to spirit, and "song" refers to oratorical power and elegance. Thus we call it dedication of will and achieving that which is inside and outside or mind and body. If you do everything with utmost sincerity you can move Heaven. Heaven is deeply impressed by that kind of mind.

So what will Heaven do? Heaven thinks of such people. Not only that, but also love searches them out. Love wants to be in that place. Love wants to connect to that place where the thoughts of all things remain. Don't you think so? In that place of deep thinking the mind of man is deeply moved. Therefore, when you offer utmost sincerity, you stand in a position to receive God's love. That's how you do it. Just as God loves all humankind, if you dedicate yourself with utmost sincerity for the sake of God you will feel God's love from the very first moment, and then you can say you love God.

Due to the Fall we have been without an ambassador who could love God. You should think, "I must dedicate myself to God with utmost sincerity because God's love has been searching for me." Through that love we can know God, and we will be able to love God. God is the origin of love. (78-31)

Concerning the history of love, it started with God, but where did it go to? If we consider the time of Adam and Eve, it went to Adam. We connect to the history of love through Adam. Well, what does that mean? It means that God's love was originally supposed to connect to us through the father. Then it was to move to the mother, and extend to us through her. When these two became one they would hold the position as God's representatives and stand in the place of God's deep love.

So the history of love is extended down through the children from the parents and ultimately from God. This original love was to have been identified as the original traditional history. (78-32)

We are eagerly anticipating the time of attendance. Attendance on whom? We attend of the Lord, and the Lord attends the Father. This is the hope of humanity. Without this foundation there is no salvation. (8-293)

These days the Unification Church has faith because we want to receive God's love; but from where do we believe and keep our faith. (78-34)

Where does God's love come from? That mystery is not something you can easily solve. You must demonstrate perfect sincerity to parents and to God. Although giving of your heart to God can be a vague thing, giving your total sincerity to parents is definite. Fortune moves across a flat plane, so from all aspects, there are many intuitive realizations you can have. (78-43)

What kind of life is the life of attendance? It is the life of utmost sincerity. A long time ago following God was a spiritual endeavor of utmost sincerity, but today in front of parents we can actually be filial sons and daughters. The beginning of the path to fulfill perfect sincerity to the greatest extent as a filial son or daughter is in loyalty and devotion towards the nation. That is a thing which deserves admiration.

God needs one person of filial piety to attend parents from the position of this world on earth, one who can inherit the way of loyalty for the nation, and has the value of one who can inherit the way of a saint for the world. For that reason one with the name of the filial son who stands in front of the True Parents and stands in front of God, the filial son who receives official recognition is really a great and wondrous one. If you stand in that position even Jesus will envy you. (78-35)

The life of attendance is not something far away. The history of God's love is carried through father and mother, and appears as substantiated love when they unite into one. Through this subject, if Adam and Eve had become one, the Fall would not have happened. However this relationship came crashing down. So, centering on True Parents love, this relationship is revived and through the restorational history of the Unification Church the objective horizontal foundation is magnified and expanded. You should know that the degree that this could be done provides the possibility of the actual establishment of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

The Kingdom of Heaven is not a rare event. The ideal is to live your life serving parents and serving God, and receiving love. Is there anything more? Attend God, and attend parents, is there something in addition to that? What's next? It is that you are then able to love each other. That is the Kingdom of Heaven. That is it. There is nothing else that you can call the Kingdom of Heaven.

You must apply this love to the relationship of husband and wife, and towards all your companion relationships. It must be the center of these relationships. Your desire should be such that you miss parents, and as much as you miss them, with that same strength of feeling you should want parents to love your brother more than yourself. That's all you need to know. That is reality. If you say to your parents, "I am your filial son," and then you fight with your brother, the filial heart cannot materialize. The mind of parents desires that children love each other more than they love the parents. If you say, "Mom, please wait. I will take care of my younger brother first," your parents will say, "My boy! Oh, he'll grow up to be a good man." Isn't that right?

In the same way, the person who will love their brother with the ideal of parents love will live within the border of heaven forever. We will toss out a person who cannot love his brother together with parents. This is a simple idea. Very concise and simple. If we focus our attention on this fundamental truth, it is so plain and clear. Yet people haven't known this, and they didn't act on it. However we know this, and our members are becoming one with each other.

If you don't do it, it will lead to big problems. If you stand in a position of not having the filial mind in front of parents, but you give such a mind for the sake of your family members in place of parents, offering utmost sincerity for the sake of parents in this way, then according to the ideal of filial action for parents, Heaven will receive your offering. That kind of person most will certainly receive Heaven's blessing. (78-41)
