Please Let Us Know Heaven Through Our Hearts
We earnestly hope and desire
that you will not let us become people
who know heaven by having received the word;
rather, please let us become people
who know heaven through our hearts.
Please guide us to not become people
who seek to be saved through the word,
but rather people who are saved
in the presence of our Father through our hearts
and can sing songs of life.
Then, we earnestly hope and desire, Father,
that you will allow us to become people
who are able to first see
how much you have worked and suffered,
and who are able to bow down our heads
and comfort you.
If we have a goal in life,
please let us pursue that goal of life
through our hearts;
and if we must have content in our daily lives,
we earnestly hope and desire, Father,
that you will let the content
of our daily lives be your heart alone.
Since many people have come before you, Father,
please let them find on their own,
for whom they are staying here,
for what they are working,
and to what place they are heading.
If there were a person
who could be recognized by your saying,
"You are a person who will stay with my heart forever,"
we know that there could be
no one happier than that person.
Father!
We know that you come to us
with eternal life,
with an eternal ideal,
and with a heart of eternal love;
and what you are longing for
are sons and daughters
who can sing and enjoy
being centered on the idea
that we are not two but one,
with your things being ours,
and our things being yours,
and you being together with us
in our innermost hearts.
We too are looking forward
to the arrival of a time
in which we are able to attend you,
and to be proud and rejoice
throughout the whole world after having found
and offered you all the elements of glory.
Since you know all these things, Father,
by connecting our minds and bodies,
and by moving all the past things
of heaven and earth,
please transform all of them
in the world of heart.
And while earnestly hoping and desiring
that you will let us be able
to decide and determine ourselves
in a state of joy and impact
which is able to stimulate glory,
we have humbly, prayed
in the name of the Lord. Amen.
