When you go out witnessing, I often see that while your words are great, telling people, "The Principle of Creation is like this and the Principle of the Fall is like that. It is good for you to believe in the Unification Church," you act completely according to your whims. You talk well. But that is not good enough. Instead, if there is a person A, then for that person A you should offer a sincere prayer. The problem is how to set the condition of having loved the person more than do his own parents. This is a real fight. How can I win him over with the heart that surpasses those of his own father and mother? This is the problem.

Because people are spiritual beings, they do not want to go where there is decline, but want to be at a prosperous place. The issue at stake, then, is how to be in a position to benefit him, and let him sense that you love him more than his own parents. The love that I am talking about here is not the secular love of the outside world. (50-279)

Witnessing should not be done centering on words. People follow because they recognize something about you. It is important how you connect your own area of responsibility to the purpose of the whole. (24-81)

Were your witnessing efforts in the sixties so far done for the purposes of boasting of oneself or for the sake of saving people? You should deeply reflect on it. For the sake of salvation? Did you do it to save the Christians? Actually, you did it to boast. This is the problem. (34-273)

If you look at the line that someone is connected to, you may see that he is receiving the love of his parents. When he is receiving the love of parents, brothers and sisters, it is very difficult to persuade him to follow the way of the providence. You should be able to evaluate that. For that kind of people, you have to present something good. You must show something that is beneficial. But presentation alone is not enough. You have to do something to spark emotions of love in him and make a connection with you.

Then, what do you have to do? Here you need love that is just like leaven. They use the metaphor of leaven in the Bible, right? Love that resemble leaven is the love of God. How do I feel God's love? I told you early to pray for one person's life; you should pray for some person. You should pray for that person through the nights, and see what unfolds. We have many older men and women here, and you all know that it is impossible for someone to comprehend the sorrow caused by the death of children unless he goes through the experience himself, right? [Yes] Those who have the experience of raising a child and see him pass away can understand that heart. If you love with the heart that surpassed that, then everyone will be led to follow. (50-280)

Using the whole organization for one's selfish reasons is the same as using God. You should always beware of this and be careful. Therefore, when people visit the church or when you are out witnessing, you should never occupy your mind with the question, "Could this person give a large donation?" Do not wish that it is someone with authority and power, or has some other specific traits. Regardless of one's ability and character, one's mother gives him birth, raises him on the same bowl of soup, and provides equal love. Isn't this right? All people are equal in the aspect that all of them grew up by trusting their precious lives in the hands of the parents. Inside the parental heart, there cannot be discrimination. (33-164)

When you are out witnessing, you may wish that you can bring in someone who is very wealthy, but what is the use? Is that done for the sake of the Unification Church or for the sake of that person? You should never ever plan to ask that wealthy person to make a donation in order to enhance your own financial situation. While you are trying to save people, you should never think about material things. You should make clear judgments on this type of things while you are walking this path.

When you meet someone, you should not judge someone as good or bad. If you want to become someone of high status, then you must be able to take care of people below you well. (34-250)

You should not make wrong choices when selecting people. For a beggar or any type of person, it is not a problem is not if he is incapable. Rather, those who are inadequate have better faith than those who are very capable. People will be unable to go to sleep before coming to you if they really can feel through you the loving heart that they have never experienced, even from their own parents. They will come early in the morning even without eating their breakfast. Try and see if it is true or not. You cannot come up with the excuse that you cannot make it in witnessing because you are not so capable. That does not make any sense. (1969.5.12)

When you witness, do not pick and chose. Do you understand? [Yes] My original character has always been that when I see a passing beggar shivering in the cold winter, after I come home, I cannot eat or sleep. This is my character. I even asked my parents to bring a beggar inside the bedroom to give him something to eat and then send him off... Don't you think that this is the basis for God to love?

Accordingly, you should not be selective when witnessing. Do you understand? [Yes] You should be asking, "Why was this person sent to me? Wasn't there a purpose when he was sent to me?" You must help accomplish that purpose 100%. If you could not achieve that, then you should realize that it is the responsibility of the regional leader to shed tears of repentance that there was a personal reason why you could not fulfill it, and make a firm determination to make another opportunity for that person to come back.
