Please Let Us Go The Path Of Living For Others

Since we know
that living for ourselves, for myself
is always being an enemy in relation
to the course of the providence of salvation,

and living for others is the course
that levels that path
of all the difficulties and struggles
which are always in front of us,
please let us go the path
of living for others.

If our spirit becomes exhausted,
that is not something
we can resolve on our own.
On the contrary, please let us realize
that if we live for others
or sacrifice more
because of being in a position
to suffer more and to live for others,
there is another path that can be pioneered
as a course of reaction.

And please let us realize
that there is another path
that can lead to you by increasing
the level of precious loyalty
and offering more devotion to you.

We earnestly hope
that you will allow us to understand
that the problem is not in other people;
it is in ourselves, in myself.

We know well
that it is the principle of the real world
that no matter how strongly a cold wind blows,
if I prepare clothes for myself and wear them,
that cold wind just blows by without affecting me.

But if I don't have the ability
to be able to prepare myself for the cold,
then I become ill, and I can be bent over.

Accordingly, in our lives today as well
we will have to take on this principle

and reform our lives
and be able to determine the value
that heaven is hoping for,
which can give light
to the course of our lives.

Please let us realize that only then
will we be able to become
the sons and daughters
who can make you happy.

We must understand the fact
that having been excited sons and daughters
who were happy in the past
does not mean we will be
happy sons and daughters today.

We can be happier today than in the past.
In order to become sons and daughters
who can feel valuable stimulation,

it will not do unless we stand in a position
where we can believe heaven,
and look up to heaven,
and consult directly with heaven
from a position of being able
to take on a more difficult,
a loftier, a more valuable,
a more responsible position.

We earnestly hope and desire
that you will allow us to become
your sons and daughters who know that
taking on a more important responsibility
is an honor,
that going a more difficult
path of the cross than others
is our pride,
and that living a more serving life than others
is a valuable life.

We have prayed all these things
in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
