We are historical pioneers. The pioneer must break through difficult surroundings and advance with a prepared attitude toward a hopeful tomorrow.

Once you take the responsibility, the next thing is to fight and struggle. You must go through a struggle of life and death. In that battle, you should lay the foundation to bring at least three people who opposes you to natural submission during your lifetime.

You must first have ideological knowledge and then faith that it will work. If your thoughts and faith do not come up to a certain level, then you cannot claim them and they can easily be taken away by someone else. The foundation that I have accomplished and strengthened, and the ground that has roots that are firmly planted, can never be taken away except by the application of a strength and faith that is greater than them. (1020)

What type of heart must you have before taking on responsibility? You must have the determination to exchange your life if you cannot accomplish the responsibility. In that case, a solution will emerge that resolves the core of the problem.

When you can say, “I have done all that I could have done as a human being. Day and night I have offered my entire heart and extreme dedication.” And God can see you are leaving after having done everything you could, even though you could not complete your mission, then God will return to you in excess of your effort. You should know these things.

It is not easy to be the teacher of the Unification Church. It is extremely difficult. It feels the same as wearing a prisoner’s uniform and walking toward the execution chamber, and yet I am walking that path. You probably do not understand because you have never spent time in prison.
I live in a well-appointed mansion, but I do not need it. I have been trained to live in a hut. I can just as easily live there. I have trained myself to become the best laborer; I can remove my jacket and work on a construction site. If there was someone in prison whom God loved, then I trained my heart to hold on to him, maintain complete dominion over the environment, and become a friend with whom he could shed tears. (1021)

You should feel the same longing heart of longing for members as you felt for your first love.

You should stay up all night making devoted efforts to raise core members. If you can offer this effort for three days, they will bond with you and feel grace that will stay with them throughout their lives. If you witness with strong determination, feeling that time is too short, and become anxious when your guests leave because it is late, then the spirit world will cooperate with you.

You must first be absolutely dedicated to God’s will in order to convey it to others. (1022) --29
