Father! No matter how active an interest we may take in it, the path we will take has already been decided. We must go towards that place today, and we must go tomorrow as well.
While going through the course of restoration through indemnity, there have been many times when we were discouraged, but we are grateful for your grace which allowed us not to be discouraged and to endure and go forward.
While going through the long time of over six thousand years, how often did our ancestors entreat you, and how many times have we gathered before you of our accord? But no matter how difficult it was you could not turn your back on it, so you endured over and over again, and we have come face to face with your situation where you had to bite your tongue and suppress your heart and endure even at the point when your children, who had believed and gone forth, poured out insults. For that reason, we must become children who struggle for your sake. When we do that, we believe that you will call us your beloved sons, and you will call us your beloved daughters.
Please allow us to understand that if those kinds of groups gathered and made up a tribe, it would be a tribe that you could not help but love, and if those kinds of tribes gathered and made a people, it would be a people that you could not help but love, and when that people took on the form of a nation and went out on the stage of the world, you could not help but bless that nation.
We, who are walking the course of restoration through indemnity which others do not know about, wanted to be loyal to you in the past, but we did not know how to be loyal to you, and one day we had to stand in a position where we could relate to you, but we could not find that position. But now we have found a position where we can call out to you, and we are standing on the foundation of circumstances where we can be loyal to you.
We earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to become your children who are heroes of heaven, who can go forward being grateful and thinking of it as glorious to be able to work for your sake.
We should not have a vague life of faith; rather, we must go forward step by step walking a determined course before our Will. Furthermore, we know that this is the way we children, who are going the course of restoration, must go until the day the Will is realized.
Since we have realized that it will not do for us to go on a smooth path, we earnestly hope and desire that you will allow us to become your children who can go forward while reproaching our inadequate selves and being loyal to you.
We earnestly request that the world of the idea that you and we are longing for will be realized throughout all the heaven and earth quickly. For the sake of that, each of us must go through the sacrificial course of indemnity. Even if we are inadequate with our present strength, we earnestly request that you will allow us to become your sons and daughters who realize your Will for you one day by giving our full devotion.
We have humbly prayed in the holy names of the True Parents. Amen.
