The families of the Unification Church give birth to many children. Whose family produced the most children? How many? The more brothers and sisters the better. One thing over which you must rejoice is that the more there are, the more you have to share with brothers and sisters. Even sharing a cup. Two brothers sharing one cup. You have to do that kind of thing. You must not quarrel, saying that there is only one cup. No matter how many children are in the family and no matter how difficult living may be, if you have a loving heart for giving to your eldest sister or your younger brother, then all will be well even if you have to skip a meal. If only you have a loving heart, then the situation of the family will become better. Do you wear the best clothes and give the bad clothes to your younger sisters or brothers? You should do the opposite. You even have to think in the way opposite to thinking in the satanic world. Blessed children should think differently from those in the satanic world. God is the same. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Among the brothers and sisters, those who do the most for the sake of other brothers and sisters, for the sake of parents, and for the sake of the whole, will receive the inheritance of the parents. Those who make trouble, who do not listen to their parents, and who do only what they want to do, will become the last. Then what is your pride in front of the satanic world? Pride and faith in your father and mother. You must understand that. You must understand how Blessed families should live. You have to know what mothers should do and what you should do. No matter how difficult the living may be, no matter what a difficult life you lead, still you should be grateful and you should wait, shedding tears in front of heaven, and overcoming a hungry stomach. You should be able to say, "God, please love our nation, and please love our people, and fulfill the wish of our mother." You should be able to say those things. The more of those things there are, the more you should put the good things into your back pocket. God is like that. God has thousands of pockets, and God says "Hey, I will give you this," and he takes things out from the bottom of his pocket one at a time. To whom should God give those things, and when? God expects us to be patient. He says, "Be patient until you are twenty-one years old and then you will achieve complete victory over Satan." If you are able to understand that and to pray from that position, then the best treasure comes out from the pocket of God. But what if, when you are about fifteen years old you say, "God, I cannot endure. I have waited for fifteen years and nothing has been given." Then all the efforts you have made for the past ten years will have been in vain. What is the most valuable thing? It is to be able to endure suffering and difficulties from the days of your youth and to pray. That is the most valuable thing. The sons and daughters who suffer many things and make the most efforts will receive all the inheritance from their father and mother. No matter how ugly their face may be, no matter how short their height, no matter how lacking in knowledge they may be, it is these children who become the inheritors of the property of the family. Do you understand? Do you think this is right or not? (April 12, 1981)
