Having gone forth along the way on which you called us, we thought that the way was a way of joy, but as we went along it, we came to realize that it is a way that must be gone while shedding endless tears. And we came to know that it is a lonesome, lonely, worrisome way on which it will not do unless one embraces a heart of indignation while representing heaven and earth unknown to others. We cannot help but experience and feel keenly that it is a way that a person who wants to live cannot go; it is a way on which only a person who wants to die can remain.
Father! Please take pity on your lonely sons and daughters who have gathered here. Is a heavenly idea moving in their minds? Please let them realize that this idea is not an idea centered on themselves; it is a historical idea. Is there a heart that is moving through this idea? Please let them realize that their hearts are not hearts that remain in their one generation.
If they have experienced the grace that they are to receive, and the grace that they are to feel, now please let them realize that they do not accomplish and live in the Kingdom of Heaven alone, centered on themselves.
Since you are the one who started this work, we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to become people who can offer everything we have as yours.
When we went forth on the way you called us, we had already given everything we had to you, Father. We had given everything we had as yours, even our hearts.
You are longing for a person who is able to be happy even when giving everything; please bear with our being sad seeing something disappear.
Please let us have minds that are able to be infinitely joyful even after committing everything to you. We know that the person who possesses a mind like this is the person who will possess everything of yours, and the person who has in his bosom an earnest heart like that in relation to heaven, will be victorious in heaven and on earth.
Father! We have come to realize that your having taken everything away from our living environment was not for the sake of your joy; rather, it was the Will of the providence to bequeath to us everything that you have.
We have come to understand the heart of our Father, who could not help but tell us to come, call us, who could not help but seek us with the Will of those kinds of complications. If there still remains a feeling or a consciousness centered on ourselves, please let us now place them before you. Then we earnestly hope and desire that you will fill our minds and bodies only with minds of infinite gratitude to you as we look at all the things of creation that exist in heaven and on earth.
We have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the Lord. Amen.
