F. Heaven’s Decree and Resolve after the "Awakening"

When I doubt people, I feel pain.When I judge people, it is unbearable.When I hate people, there is no value to my existence.

Yet if I believe, I am deceived.If I love, I am betrayed.Suffering and grieving tonight, my head in my hands

Crown of Glory


Am I wrong?Yes, I am wrong.

Even though we are deceived, still believe.Though we are betrayed, still forgive.Love completely even those who hate you.Wipe your tears away and welcome with a smileThose who know nothing but deceitAnd those who betray without regret.


Oh Master! The pain of loving!Look at my hands.Place your hand on my chest.My heart is bursting, such agony! But when I loved those who acted against meI brought victory.If you have done the same thing,I will give you the crown of glory.

3. Underground Korean independence activities


Initially, our relationship began as that of a friend and comrade. Later, when I discovered the depth of his words and personality and of his heavenly mission, I began to relate to him as if he were my father instead of a friend. During our student years in Japan, I would always find several copies of the Bible in English, Korean and its original languages left open in his room. I saw that he had underlined passages in red many times. The books were all worn out. When he started praying he would pray for hours at end without any regard to the passing of time.

Eve had to form the foundation of converting the heart and lin-eage, of mother-son cooperation, and of restoring the birthright of the eldest son. (101:300, 101:309, November 7, 1978, 139:309, January 31, 1986)
