3) How to Overcome Difficulty

Don't be discouraged when you face difficulty. When persecution comes, don't worry. Instead, we have to be proud that we are preparing ourselves to receive heavenly fortune in the future. There's no need to worry. Even though someone says he's going to slit your throat, it's no problem.

When we say, "Let's overcome our surroundings," these words suggest we are in danger. Yes, we are often in a dangerous position. If you cannot dance to my tune, it's hard to overcome. If you do, you can overcome your surroundings.

So don't doubt and don't try to avoid danger. Go straight ahead and confront it directly. If the mountain is high, the valley is deep. Likewise, to receive a big blessing you have to overcome big trials. God will come to you. After a long winter you will see springtime. That's true. Then the summer will come. Summer is like a valley. These are natural phenomena.

When you face difficulty, remember the coming blessing and prepare yourself to receive it and to pass it on to mankind in the future. Prepare your bowl for the blessing.
