In order to pursue this path of love, you must sacrifice yourself and serve others. Do you feel good? [Yes] Without service and sacrifice, one who came with the content of love that amounts to ten cannot be connected to the path of hundred and thousand. If your ancestors are not good, then you cannot initially even take back love that amounts to ten. However, even for one who brought love that is worth only ten, if there was a way for him to have a chance at claiming love that amounted to a hundred, thousand and ten thousand, then wouldn't he want to give that a try? [Yes] Because Rev. Moon of the Unification Church understood this, even though I have gone through unspeakable tribulations and have been subject to condemnations as well as suffering pain and torture that almost took my life in prison, I have been persevering up to now. Moreover, for this reason, I am trying to love people and sacrifice for their sake more than anyone else. When you love people, even when you feel that you have given enough if there is someone whose love and sacrifice is greater than you, then you will want to sacrifice and love more. People are greedy, right? Only when you become such a person can God pour out his love into you. (44-203) What do you have to do now as church leaders? [Servant of servant...] Although being a servant of servant is correct, it must be done with love. It won't do if victory is not brought by possessing love. Do you understand? [Yes] What kind of love? It is not Satan's love but God's love. It is self-sacrificial love. Where does such love emerge from? It emerges from giving yourself completely to others. Giving completely is no other than the three great loves. The three great loves is love that can be given completely and received completely. Isn't this the love of God? When you give completely, you can receive completely. What would you do if Satan runs away after receiving that love? Before absolute objective love, absolute subjective love will appear. Therefore, there is no need to worry. There is no need to be happy just because you are recognized by someone or to worry just because you are not recognized and understood. The problem is not being able to emerge with the complete love. This is the cause for concern. (48-34) Spiritual leaders must know how to overcome time to deal with the people that are connected to them. Eventually, they must be able to completely offer their sleep time for the sake of others. Their meal time must also be sacrificed for the sake of others. Their daily life must also be offered up for the sake of the others. Their life must become the sacrifice for the others. If one can become a leader who understands and fulfills one's own portion of responsibility from this position, then one can make progress. (72-313)
