Originally the ancestors of human beings should have completely united with God, centering upon God and His heart and love. Then because God created heaven and earth to complete the purpose of His heart, he had to transfer heaven, earth and all things to His object of heart, to his dear sons and daughters centered upon love. Since God did not create heaven, earth and all things for Himself, but for Adam and Eve, joy could not rise from Himself but from Adam and Eve. Everyone, don't all parents in the world look at their children and rejoice? Delight is only found through an object. When is God most happy? Please think. It is when He has completed the restoration of the world that he will be happiest. The unmarried men and women here, those of you who have not been married and raised children would not know it, but those people who are parents would surely understand. When parents expect their first baby, they pour all their love and devotion into the baby. You will never fully know the joy of holding a baby in your arms unless you become a parent. Do the mothers and fathers want to show off the baby or not? Now, when we look at it this way, what is the most valuable thing in the universe? In other words. what would be the most valuable thing for God and Adam and Eve? (The children) Yes, that's the answer. For Adam and Eve the most precious thing for them is not money, or any thing else, but their sons and daughters. Their dear sons and daughters. (92-216) Today, when you look at the mothers and fathers of this fallen human world, even though there is a saying that it is foolish to boast of your children, carrying around a homely looking baby they will say, "Even his face is so unique." That is no mystery. The parents here with children would know. Even if the parents have scars on their face, and even if they are tough looking and their baby looks more like a gang member, still they would hold their son and would say to him, "Oh, my sweetheart." Everybody, what are the most precious things out of all the valuable things in the whole world? Well, when you look at the world today, people don't even know if God exists or not; so leaving God alone for now, what is the rarest thing in the world? Just look for the most precious thing. (The children) The children. What comes next? Your husband and your wife, your spouse. What comes after that? Parents. There isn't anything more precious. To people who do not recognize the value of this, everything seems meaningless.
