4) Having the Mind of Attendance.

Ladies and gentleman, what is the age of attendance? It is the life of service, and support. Everyone, in the age of attendance, in other words the age of living a life of service, you must go and establish the correct center. In the place where you serve God there is law. When you break that law, God is such a person as to be extremely displeased. With parents who love their children deeply, just one word from the children can be enough to drive a nail into the parents' heart.

That is the same even for God when His beloved children fall away; it makes Him very hurt and upset. Because of that, you will incur great anger from God if you make even the slightest of mistakes. For that reason I always want myself to be a reason for God's joy. Even when you dress you should dress well. When I see a person dressed well, it makes me feel good. Since I think like that, then as you can see, I wore a suit today. If I didn't think like that I would have worn a casual jacket. (17-287)

In the place of serving God, you have to be patient and wait your turn. There is a proper order. For whom or what do you have to wait? You must wait for the whole purpose. You must be patient and endure until you reach the point of central thought. With that kind of thought you must not complain, or you won't be able to live together. From there you can live in the very wide and expansive Kingdom of Heaven. (44-18)

There is no room for complaint. Absolutely you must never complain. Don't think of yourself. Don't set yourself up with the self-love concept or the concept of yourself based on your possessions. Force yourself to digest and absorb such a complaining mind and endure while thinking of God, and think, "If I complain, how much pain I will cause the True Parents! I understand their circumstances. I can inherit their tradition, if they stand in front of me for one instant I can inherit, and while following them, I will comfort them." Then if you shed tears of sorrow and regret, Heaven will share them with you. There is no doubt about it. These should not be tears shed for your own sake, but shed for the sake of the True Parents. Then Heaven will cry with you.

Heaven does not share tears shed for your own sake. You should cry tears for Heaven and tears for the True Parents. This is the foundation of the Unification Church. You must know that this is what we call the life of attendance of the Unification Church. Do you understand? (114-281)

When you come to the point of being able to attend Father, at that time, what will you do? How will you convey a filial heart? You must think in what form will my attendance take? How will it appear? You could run into Father at any riverside. In what kind of place will you meet him?

If you go to a remote mountain village and begin to live the lifestyle there, you should fervently desire to invite our Unification Church members. Then if they come, you should be concerned about how they are; how's their health; are they suffering any pain. How wonderful if you could see your closest friend. Also, how wonderful to be able to greet Father, as well as the state leader and regional leader. You should have such a mind of missing them, and hoping for their visit.

Everyday you should have that longing; if not, you cannot serve God. You must know this. You should always touch a part of your heart where you are missing someone. But there is always someone in the middle of the night crying out, "ya ya ja ja" giving God cause for concern. In Heaven there is no day and no night. Embracing your own heart destiny and pouring it out should not be a problem relegated to the nighttime.

If you meet a person who received a lot of persecution and opposition from others, you should feel even more pain in your heart and be more distraught than they, when you consider their situation. You should have such a heart and feeling for your members. In the same way, if you meet a member who deservedly received praise for something well done, you should take pride in that and report it to your leaders. Report everything and allow everyone to take pride in the achievements of your members.

Therefore, the person who does not feel longing in their hearts for their brothers and sisters cannot live the life of attendance. With a longing mind,--longing for headquarters church, longing for regional church, longing for state church, longing for your local church, longing for your members, longing to see your brother you absolutely should never feel alone. Based on that you will most certainly break wide open the gate of multiplication.

A church built upon such a foundation is the most natural church. So what kind of church is ours? It is a chilly and cold church. If you cannot build such a foundation of longing in your heart, you should at least speak comforting words to yourself while looking at a picture. Without saying anything you can write a nice and splendid letter.

In the midst of your tears, your feelings can connect with Heaven. When shedding your tears, if you call out to Father where does your voice carry to? When you see some difficult or painful situation, that situation may not be the same as someone else's.

Loving God is the first commandment. So should you love God with your whole heart, mind and soul, or just on the surface. [With whole heart, mind, and soul.] So, will you love God with your whole heart and soul or not? [We will!] Whoever promises to love God with their whole selves raise your hands. Now you must love God even if you get hit by a thunderbolt. You must love God completely. (37-25)
