What can you be proud of? Let me ask you a question. When you yourself love God, what can you be proud of? Have you ever loved God or not? What is your pride? Do you have the capability to love your father and mother who are Blessed? Those who cannot trust their parents, answer me. What can you be proud of in front of Satan? If you, who have nothing to be proud of in front of Satan, meet me and receive the Blessing, then how much will Satan mock you? He will laugh at you, showing his teeth. You may have heard that people laugh with their noses, but you may not have heard that someone laughs with his teeth.

What is it that you are proud of? Being Second Generation? Second generation of what? You have nothing to be proud of in front of Satan. Then, how can you who have nothing to be proud of in front of Satan, receive the Blessing in front of heaven? What is it that you can be proud of in front of Satan? Is it money? Is it your face? Is it your physical body? No. What is it? Answer me. What is it that you can be proud of in front of Satan? Those that can answer me raise your hands.

Do you think there is anything within your parents you can be proud of or not? Why? Centering upon what? You say you have nothing to be proud of. What is it you can be proud of in front of Satan? It is simple. It is that you love God. Does Satan love God? When Satan comes to love God then everything is finished. Next, you love the True Parents. Do you love your True Parents?

Have you loved the True Parents as you have answered at this time? I don't believe you. What is the evidence that you have loved the True Parents? That is the problem. Your parents have nothing much to be proud of, but there is one thing they can be proud of: they love me. The fact that they love the True Parents is something that Satan cannot do. Satan cannot have it. In front of the world of the True Parents, Satan must retreat completely. Satan has to go to hell.

The only thing you can be proud of in front of Satan is loving God and the True Parents. This is the pride which Satan can never have, to love True Parents who are the center of this world. The same thing can be said of my family, my tribe. In my family it is my pride in front of my father and mother. Have you ever thought of that? What you can be proud of from the beginning to the end is only the True Parents. It is no good if you stay in the place where your fallen parents stay. In the place where the True Parents are denied, you return instantly to the satanic rhythm. Do you understand what I mean?

What is the best pride of the Unification Church? What is it that we can be proud of in front of Satan? It is that we can insist: "We remain loyal and die for the True Parents whom you can never attend, whom you can never have. That is our pride. We are fundamentally different from you who sacrifice others for your own sake." Are your father and mother like that? Are they the same as Father? What is your pride? The True Parents. What is next? Love. You can be proud of yourselves in front of Satan by having True Parents. There is nothing else.

Our pride is that we have True Parents in this universe, isn't it? What Satan regrets is that True Parents have appeared on this planet Earth, but what God rejoices in is the same fact that True Parents have appeared in the world. The world of the true family has come, and the true tribe and nation and world have come into existence. And now the Unification family has come to the stage where we can lead the world. We start not with the unified nation but with the family centered upon love. (February 19, 1986)
