When any person, regardless of who he or she may be, is chosen for something, he or she tries to become the true inheritor of that chosen position and pursue the greater value. That is the desire of human beings. However, even if that desire stimulates our hope, it is not so easy to actually put it into practice. We all know that we can become successful if we try hard, but it is not that easy to succeed. Being called to God's providence is difficult, but you must know that it is more difficult to answer that call and to carry out that mission. We all see the same morning. We also see the same noon and the same night. However, when we look at individuals' spirits, they are all different. There are people whose spirits are like noon when it is morning and like night when it is noon. They criss-cross like that. In other words, when we try to follow the Will, everything does not go smoothly. There are people who follow the Will from a discordant position. Everything will go wrong for these people. Even if they go the way of the Will, confrontation will always occur. What kind of people are those? Those are the ones who started around the time of the autumn or winter season, but do not know clearly when they started. There is no way that they can know that. After winter comes the beginning of spring, but those people will have a hard time recognizing when the beginning of spring comes into their life. Fallen beings, unable to match the right time, work at cross purposes. Therefore, what is most important is how we capture and match the right time and go forward. We come to recognize in our life of faith that what we must be careful of is how to match the right time. This is an extremely important problem. If you cannot match the right time, then a day will pass by, a year will pass by, ten years or decades will pass by without any result, and you will merely live a life with paradoxical results. When we think of this problem, in order to find the right timing, we must live a deeper life of faith. In other words, a deeper prayer life is necessary.
