I came to America not thinking whether or not I'd have my own house. Even now, I am still leading a lifestyle in a way that I would not become indebted to you. Because I have brought this to pass, America also can make progress. I do not focus on my own development. This is how the Principle is. The Divine Principle is like that. For this reason, together with God I must always be giving to the members all over America. I have to give spiritually, materially, intellectually, and in every other way.

Is a good person someone who gives ten and then takes back twelve, or gives ten and only takes back eight? [One who gives ten and takes back eight.] What happens if one does not receive at all? One will become like God. Like God. Where is God? God first dwells in such a place. (76-337)

You must first give completely, give three and then take only one back. Do you understand? This is the fundamental principle. Give three times and receive once; I am telling you to receive only a third.

Despite this, there are many who try to give only one and demand three in return. Do you think there are many of this type of people? If one does this, one is Satan. God's providence for restoration tries to claim a third, in other words, carry on the work of the three generations to claim back a third. It tries to sacrifice three to take back one. It is trying to give three eras to claim one era. With much effort and devotion... This is how it will be. This is the fundamental principle.

Since this is the way that God takes claim over things, we are supposed to give three and take back one. Even the one that is taken back must not remain in your possession. You must return it to God.

This tradition... If you receive one, then you must return it to me and, I must return it to God. This is how it should be returned. Only when this becomes the tradition, only when it goes around like this and is made into that, will progress take place. (66-301)

We must love God. Only after loving God and receiving the love of God can you love man and receive the love of man. You must understand this. Do you understand? Centering on me... I am not trying to receive love. I am not boasting about it. This is how the laws of the Principle are. Only after understanding how to love parents, only after receiving the love of parents can you love children and receive the love of children. It operates by the same principle.

Knowing this problem, you must always think about these two types of principles. When you love people as much as you have loved God, then just as God has loved you, people will love you. For this reason Jesus said in the Bible that if one testifies to him before people, then he will testify to that one before God. It is the same principle. The same principle. You are supposed to love man just as you love God. (70-165)
