When you encounter a member and he or she is being counseled in front of all members, you should not counsel. This is also what I do. I have been leading countless people until now, and there are many who have made mistakes. When I deal with them, I have the attitude, "I will forgive you one hundred times." I forgive a hundred times all those that I come in contact with. This is the fatherly heart.

For example, if one's own son has been arrested as a robber and a murderer and is facing an execution would the parent say, as he watches his son head toward the execution chamber, "It is a good thing that you are going to die. You should be killed quickly?" The parental heart is such that if it is possible to forgive even a thousand or ten thousand times, he would want to forgive. He will treat him with tolerance, willing to forgive a thousand times...

But what would happen if I had done something like that and was in such a position in the past? It becomes another type of question. Wouldn't it be difficult to deal with? If I made such a mistake right now, then what would God do to me? Would he bring destruction upon me despite some foundation of my loyalty in the past? If God were to stand in that position, he would hesitate a thousand times.

There are many who left our Unification Church. I once talked to one such person for thirty minutes. We talked about some secret contents... When he is settled in his ways and does not want to come, I do not disdain him, wishing that as he stands in the opposite position he be punished with all sorts of punishments and die by being struck with lightening.... On the contrary, I think, standing on the side of that person, "He did it because he did not really understand. It is understandable." When I correct mistakes like this, the leaders must also possess the same perspective as I. Such people can make the connection of heart.

If you have done that, then even if you tell him extremely harsh words, because you have displayed such concern, you will not feel judged by your conscience. You will not feel judged. There, even if you decide upon some extreme way, because the foundation created by your heart as you were dealing with him in the beginning is greater, God has the condition to support you. There are always ways to take care of all situations. (157-259)

I have been talking about and teaching about the heart of Heavenly Father; yet Jesus, who was sent to this earth after four thousand years, did not really understand the deep valleys of His heart when he was dying on the cross. When you think about it, after all the loyalty with which he faced death, he did not have the foundation to surpass the crisis of death. It was loyalty that fell below that standard, and it was not serious enough to melt one's bones like this. (158-153)
