The Reason God Toiled Tirelessly, June 6, 2020

 Reflection of Dr. C.S. Yong's Morning Devotion

Message: The Reason God Toiled Tirelessly

June 6, 2020 by Rafael E. Ablong

Today's message of Dr. Yong is " The Reason God Toiled Tirelessly". Some of the highlights of this message are:

1. Why does God toil tirelessly?  It is to find his children. it is to find Adam and Eve and all their descendants. People walk a path of suffering centered on God to find their sons and daughters and to establish a four-position foundation. God's dual purpose in finding His children is to accomplish two purposes: to find a man and to find a woman. This is is why it is not enough to restore Adam and Eve. Their descendants have to be restored to fulfill the original intended purpose of creation through the fulfillment of the four-position foundation in each stage.

2. Each of us needs to be convinced in our hearts to find God’s longing and sorrowful heart. Without experiencing God’s suffering heart, we will never know the depth of God’s heart and how He longs for me. We will not be able to completely understand Him without making the effort. God’s attribution of His suffering is not just his suffering. It is the agony and longing of waiting and of the Parent's efforts to find us. 

3. We need to build up our relationship with the eternal God. We cannot just find God in good places. We can always find Him in the most suffering places. Without toiling tirelessly, God cannot restore us. God is motivated by a single-minded purpose to find His true objects of partners of true love. Even if the external environment is good, this is nothing if there is no love. Even if you live with wife and children, but if we have no love this is nothing.

4. Personal frustrations, disappointment, loneliness, and stress are a result of not finding the object of love. Without love, even if we live in the most sophisticated place, we will still feel lonely and uncared. There is no heart, no object partner of love. There is no love present in relationships. Even if we live together, but there is no true love. Everything will just make you lonely. God keeps missing His true children. That is why God works tirelessly.

5. God is willing to die so many thousands more just to find His children. God, like us, cannot be perfected without an object partner. Who perfects the parents, it is the children. Who can perfect a man, it is the woman. Likewise, with the woman, she can only be perfected by a man. Our existence cannot be recognized and perfected without others.  Who perfects human beings, it is God. Object partners of love should be absolute, eternal, unique, and unchanging.

6. The concept of the four positions is the number of settlements.  In this foundation, God can find His sons and daughters. Based on the realization of the four-position foundation, God can rest. Until now, no religion has focused on family salvation. If Jesus has married during his time, True Father and True Mother would not have come. We need to experience the real feeling.  We all need to experience God’s heart from the level of children’s love, siblings love, conjugal love, and parental love. 

7. We need to experience true love in daily life. Love cannot be experienced in the crucible of concepts. It can only be felt and realized in the praxis of love. Why do we have to become parents? Without becoming parents, we cannot experience the heart of God as a parent. To love the world with brothers and sisters, we need to experience the love of siblings in the family. We understand and experience filial piety and loyalty by experiencing the heart of children in the family.

8. Who is the most miserable person? It is the person who cannot experience being a real child, a real brother or sister, and a real husband or wife.  No children mean nothing to their parents. No parents would mean nothing to their children. To experience God’s heart and circumstances, we need to find our husband, a wife,  brother, and sister. This is the only way to perfect love and experience it in our daily life, 

9. Through unity in marriage, we can comfort God. By being sensitive to the heart of brother and sister, we understand the four great realms of heart. The family is the best place to experience the heart of God. We can perfect the four kinds of love in the family.

10. God is the center of the four-position foundation. How do we achieve peace? It is by centering on the Heart of God, and True Parents. Everything under God and True Parents. We have a lot of problems in the world because there  No need to talk about human rights if we forget about God’s rights. 

11. Encountering hardships are one of the ways to understand God’s heart. It is to build a heartistic relationship with God. If we don’t undergo any trial or difficulties in life, we will not grow up to understand the heart of God. Satan will not allow you to go easily to God’s bosom. Without paying the price, we cannot be freely released by Satan. 

12. No pain, no gain. Without paying indemnity, we cannot restore ourselves, others, and the world. We need to exert a lot of hard work to fully experience the heart of God. If we want to restore a nation then we need to have you give us the pain and suffering. If there is only to restore to God’s bosom. To establish a heart culture, we need to experience it.

13. God does not God just gives us love. He also gives us trials and difficulties to make us grow. To overcome Satan, we need to control our bodies. Without trials and hardships, we cannot be able to separate from Satan. This is our frontline. So we need to go through trial difficulties. He uses the stick and carrot approach. You put the carrots in front of the horse so it will follow it.

14. We have to go beyond the limits of the sorrow caused by the fall of Adam and Eve.  When you achieve this, Satan will not be able to accuse you. Why we are hating Satan? Why did Satan become our enemy? 

Even though we can forgive the person, we cannot forget evil. We need to take revenge on Satan. We need to forgive Satan but we cannot forget Satan.  How to overcome Satan? We need to go beyond the division of mind and body, we need to beyond our borders into the world. The shortest way to overcome Satan is to do frontline missions. We need to go outside our national borders to serve the world. The more we see the situations of others, the more we see the beauty in the world, the more able we are to defeat Satan and truly succeed as the real sons and daughters of God. 

15. True Father said, “the reason I recently pushed you to pioneer is to make you into a person who possesses the heart of gratitude and who can have dominion over yourself.  Have we become such a person? We have to revive ourselves every time so we can obtain such eternal character.”.

Based on these ideas as read and repealed by Dr. Yong, I can only say that trials and difficulties are God’s Way of making us better each time. Without it, God would be spoiling our growth and disabling our capacity for goodness and involvement in public service.

Thank you Dr. Yong for this message today. May God continue to empower you with his love so that you can educate, enlighten, and inspire many more brothers and sisters.  Thank you, thank you.
