But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree, do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember it is not you that supports the root, but the root that supports you.
Romans 11:17-18
I have loved the members in the Cain position more than my children and wife. You must become crazy about Cain and, in the process, sacrifice your family. That is proper. After doing that, you can come back to love your children and wife. Even now at East Garden, it is rare for Mother and me to eat together with all the children because usually I am meeting with the Church leaders at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Even now I still live that way of life.
As my children mature and think about my past and my mission, they will truly come to love and understand me. Even after I go to the spirit world, the remaining leaders and 36 couples will love them as much as I loved those people, or even more. That is the best inheritance I could leave them. That is how I am opening the door for all mankind and all history to love them.
Children's Day and Tradition
11.20.79, Los Angeles
The true saint does not care only for his family but cares first for others before his family, even those who care the least for him. We can define the good God as the God who sacrifices Himself for the sake of others. I, too, have lived according to this principle. I have sacrificed my immediate family, even my mother, for the sake of the Unification Church. It is very seldom that I eat a meal with my children; I usually eat with the Church leaders from all over the world. They are the ones who are sitting right next to Mother and me, eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner; our children are not there. Occasionally, when I am eating a meal with the children and some Church leaders come in, I immediately send the children to the kitchen to finish their meal and give their seats to the Church members. My children, as well, must have Cain to enter the Kingdom of Heaven; they cannot enter without Cain.
For True Father and True Mother, there are two types of children: true Abel-type children and true Cain-type children. The true Abel children must be able to unite with the true Cain children. I have been working for them, in their place, fulfilling their role to bring about this unity; so, for that reason, my true Abel children must be grateful to me. On the other hand, the true Cain children must unite with the true Abel children; without that, there is no place for me to stand. There are two kinds of children for Adam: direct heirs and adopted children. Unless these children are united, the world cannot be restored.
This is the reason, during 1981, which is the year of the final consummation of my 21-year course, I have been able to give Blessing to the true Abel children. Ye-Jin-Nim was engaged and married; Hyo-Jin-Nim was engaged.

For the first time, I can pay some attention to my children. I never paid attention to them before now. The True Parents' children are the representatives of all mankind, and when they suffer and are unhappy, it means that mankind is unhappy. To preserve their well-being, I had to assist the well-being of mankind. It is your turn to liberate me. Will you give me liberation? So far, when I traveled, it was always for the mission, and I would always take leaders around with me, so I neglected my children. Now I will take my children and embrace them. When you finish your home church dispensation, you can do the same with your children.
Currently, you suffer, and you have an abnormal situation. Some blessed couples are sending their children to their parents or to the nursery, but they will not be shamed. Outside people will accuse you by saying that you don't even taking care of your children. Never mind. The time will come when your home church people will embrace your children and want to take care of them. That is beautiful.
Why have my wife and children come last? We must love the Cain world first. Love your enemy first and then love your family. By doing so, you are completely free from Satan's accusation. Not only can Satan not accuse you anymore, but Satan will also have to obey you. You can command him, “Satan, you know what I have done. Can you duplicate it?” Satan will have to reply, “No, sit.”
Always look at God's own history. God always sacrificed His closest one to save the enemy. Jesus Christ was the only begotten Son of God, yet God sacrificed him to save God's own enemy. You have your own home church where you will love the people first. Liberate them before you do anything for your children. When you liberate your home church and then come back to take care of your children, everyone will embrace you.
Are you ready to liberate me from all my burdens? Instead of liberating me, all the leaders are always bringing me more decisions to make. They still rely on me for more help in finances and inspiration, but that day is over. You should be independent and go ahead like a locomotive. I don't even have one home of my own to dwell in. You may think I have East Garden, but that's the Church's property. Do you want me to have a home of my own? The time has come for me to look after my children.
Now is the time for you to do home church with all your heart and soul. Meanwhile, the true children must have their well-being taken care of for the sake of mankind, for their suffering will reflect the suffering of the nation and the world. When Ye-Jin is over twenty, gets married, and has children, if she is still going through suffering, then it is not good for the sake of this nation, or you, or the world. This is because your children's path will follow the pattern of the true children's course. We have to completely smooth it out and lay the highway so that they can go forward easily. It is actually for your sake that I am now going home to take care of the true children. That is for the sake of the future. While I am doing that, you become frontline soldiers.
When you do home church for seven years and really give yourself, the time will come when your home church people will say, “You are father and mother to the home church. We will liberate you and take up your mission. You don't need to come here because we shall work harder than you do. Don't worry about us.” That should happen now here. You should say to me, “Father, don't come. We don't need you. Go to a big resort and stay with your children and have a wonderful, peaceful, glorious time. We shall take over the battle.” Would you do that? Then, eventually, you will be treated just like that by your home church.
History of the Providence Through Restoration by Indemnity
2.10.81, World Mission Center
Before your physical child arrives, you had better start loving Cain's children so they will love your child. I never paid a lot of attention to my children; of course, I love them, but I paid more attention to the 36 couples and gave them precedence. Even now, I am unable to pay my full attention to my children. In other words, my children are being sacrificed for the sake of the world without their even understanding it. That is why members from all over the world want to serve and love my children. It is only natural.
Once you give birth to children, you will take the position of true parents. If you love your Cain children first and they make unity with your Abel children, you will successfully fulfill your position of true parents. That is what we are striving for. If you don't want to go this way, it means you would rather not be true parents, and ultimately, you don't really want to get close to God. Only after you have become true parents can you go to Heaven. What else can we do but go this way?
It appears that every other word that comes from some of you is “my” and “mine”—“my fiancée” or “my wife.” Have you ever thought about Cain's fiancée, Cain's wife? It is your business to worry about Cain's love and marriage even more than your own.
