Desperate Heart

June 15, 2020 by Rafael E. Oblong

The topic of Dr. Yong's message today is "Desperate Heart". Here, Dr. Yong ardently explained God’s longing heart and how a longing heart can solve the challenges of God and humanity. It is the absence of a longing heart that prevents us from truly understanding God’s sorrow and to truly give Him the happiness from filial children. We can only restore Cain and Abel, a family, a nation and the world if our hearts desperately long for the realization of God’s dream and seriously longs for the removal of God’s sorrow.  It is in the fulfillment of His dream that we can remove the suffering from His heart. It is the true love of filial and longing children that can heal the wounds in His heart and dissolve all His agonies and historical frustrations.

1. Our tears and suffering should liberate the resentment of Cain and Abel who separated with tears. There is no other way to be united except through the way of tears and suffering after the fall.  How earnest, ardent, or desperate we should be to liberate the resentments of Cain and Abel and the miserable sadness of God? What level of longing heart should we achieve in order to become one with God?

2. We should go more deeply into our understanding of God's longing because this is the real internal problem of our life. We cannot provide the right solution if we do not know the cause or the real problem. Our inability to grasp the depth of God's longing is the cause of His agony and mankind's persistent cycle of suffering. Raising a longing heart should be the internal question that should drive our motivation to know God's longing and work hard to unite with Him. 

3 How much do you love God? How much do you look for God? How much experience do you have of God’s sorrowful heart? If you are seeking for your lover. You have to have a more longing heart than the wife who is looking for her husband. You need to have that kind of heart and circumstance so you can connect to the essence of your longing heart.

4..If you are so thirsty you will become so desperate of water. Longing the essence of our heart is like that. How can we raise this kind of heart?  How can I really meet Heavenly Parents? How can I really experience His desperate heart? How intense should be the level of our longing? Even if we try to have a longing heart, why can ‘t  we experience God’s longing heart. It is because of the lack of desperation, earnestness, and ardency of our heart to long for our Heavenly Parents. This is the reason why we cannot reach the level of unity with God’s heart. Even if you are so desperate, you can’t still feel the heart of God. "Kanchulhada" means very desperate. In Korean,  Kan means liver and "chul" means salt.  Putting the salt in the cabbage will make it shrink. Putting salt in anything it will preserve it. If you put salt in the animal liver, the liver will be preserved.  Korean words are very deep. It is hard to translate it literally.

5. Dr. Yong’s analogy of a desperate and ardent heart to heal God’s sorrow was made through the narrative of his mother's traumatic experience when Dr. Yong's sister had an accident. His mother’s desperation to keep her sister alive after she was hit by a car that was driven by a drunk person was enormously strong. It is the kind of desperation when a mother offers her life for the sake of her child who is on the verge of death. It is the suffering heart that keeps the child alive out of desperation. Nobody can stop the heart of this ardent parent who desperately longs for the immediate healing of her child. 

6. What is God’s heart after the fall of Adam and Eve? He became so sorrowful and desperate to save His children.  After the Fall, all human beings are like in the ICU of the hospital. Fallen men do not understand the intensity of God’s desperation. Water boils at 100% centigrade. It is like that. To understand the heart of God, we should have the same degree of pain and sorrow. In order to feel the heart of God, we should be 100% desperate to have it. We have to be more earnest than anyone who is looking or running after his lover. Our longing heart should be more intense than the love of people outside the movement.  Such desperation cannot make you sleep. It should be like the feeling of Dr. Yong’s mother who wanted to take care of her daughter at the ICU in the hospital even when the doctors and nurses prevented her from doing it SHe never stopped attending to her daughter's needs ardently until they gave up on her. Until they gave her the chance of just doing what she wanted for her daughter.

7. This intense desperation keeps you charging and moving until you accomplish your goal of meeting God. That is why, Father said, “Utmost sincerity moves Heaven.”  Why can’t we reach our goal? It is the lack of desperation. We need "Chigul Jeongseong" (Utmost JeongSeong).  It is the feeling of thirstiness in the middle of a waterless desert. We need to have that kind of desperate desire to have water. When you do succeed, it is the feeling of appreciating the taste of water more than any favorite drink. Water tastes more delicious if you have not tasted it for hours.

8. Heavenly Parents and the good spirit world will be mobilized to come to you if they feel your desperation to change your life and live with them.  What level of longing heart should we achieve? It is the desperate longing heart. It is like a life and death situation to reach God. It is the feeling of wanting to live with Heavenly Father and True Parents. It is this anguish of the heart that makes you rush forward even if it puts you in a life and death situation.

9. True Mother’s desperate need to see a nation that is truly restored because this is what God desires. True Mother’s desperation should be our desperation, her wish should be our wish. Her goal should be our goal. When we have a desperate desire to find God, God will help us. God can only intervene and give you more capacity to fulfill your wish when He feels your earnest and sincere desperation. When your desperation reaches 100 percent then God will come down and help you accomplish your goal. If you really love and understand God, the moment we think of God, our tears will pour like a waterfall. Just thinking of Him and His situation will make you cry easily.

10. When I encounter God with my heart no matter what I do, tears will flow automatically. This is the kind of heart that will reach Heaven. Heaven’s language is love and longing heart. If we have love and a longing heart, it is easy to find the people we want to meet or the things we want to enjoy. Whenever we long for them, they will appear instantly.

11. Why do people betray God? It is because they do not know or do not accept the historical reality that those who betray will receive their punishment someday. Those who left True Parents live a miserable life. Look at what happened to the people whom God prepared for so many thousands of years but rejected and killed Jesus when he came.? What was the result? Six million Jews were consequently murdered by Hitler centuries after. So we should avoid betraying the True Mother. We need to fix our sights so we don't neglect the will of God and ardently develop our capacity to believe God and fulfill his dreams. 

12. “If there is a person who has never shed a tear with a longing desire to see God or True Father, that person is a fake." If you are a church member or a believer of True Parents and you have never shed a tear. You are a fake! If you have a longing heart for True Parents. The miracle of reunion happens. Longing Heart is like the uniting force of a magnet. It does not care about distance or time and space. Meeting True Father is not about having money. If we have a desperate longing heart then we can meet Him. 

13. If we don’t have a longing heart. We cannot have a true Jeongseong? How can we restore the nations of the Philippines, Cambodia, Vanuatu, and other nations in the Asia Pacific or in the world if we do not have a longing heart for God?  If we have this powerful heart of a desperate, longing heart. We can restore the world. Our lack of desperation to meet God and True Parents cannot move the spirit world. Our level of desperation to unite North and South Korea, to solve the problems of the world, will make us succeed. 

14. How do we say desperate heart in Japanese?  It is “shitawase shinjo”. If I have a longing heart for Heavenly Father, Satan will not find a reason or a space to attack or accuse us. If we are very conceptual about God, we cannot become one. We need to communicate with God through the heart because God is a God of Heart and Love. What kind of Heart? It is the longing heart. 

If you really know or taste life in the Kingdom of Heaven, you will come to believe that the world we live in is really Hell. Heaven is beyond our taste and recognition because of the Fall. The reason why we enjoy this life is that we have not tasted the happiness of Heaven yet.

Thank you so much Dr. Yong for this message today. Honestly, every time I hear you repeat the meaning of longing and yearning heart, I feel like you are digging the ground for some water to quench our thirst for God's love and strengthen our desires to unite with him as filial sons and daughters. Thank you. --Rafael E. Ablong

Morning Devotion Reflection

Longing for God

June 14, 2020

By Rafael E. Ablong

Dear Dr. Yong,

This is a product of your hard work and Jeongseong for all of us. I am just writing it down so it becomes a resource for everyone who needs it.

Thank you so much for encouraging me to put everything I have written in a book so other people can learn from it and they can share it easily with others.  I will start with the blog and ebook, and move up to realize your idea.

 I will carry it out step by step with you in my heart. You are my inspiration behind all these. Just as Rev. Yo Han Lee encouraged and saved me many years ago. I will do the same for you. The only way for me to become the person God wants me to be is to follow someone like you who is a true representative of True Parents, as the line of Abels above me.  My direct Abel, Bro. Jun Jumawan talked to me about it, and he supports this idea. I poured my heart into my reflection because you poured your heart with overwhelming power to explain God’s Longing Heart in your morning devotion. These are the highlights of the message today.

The topic today is “Longing for God”.  In this message, Dr. Yong fully described the pulling magnetic power of a Longing Heart. It is a heart that magnetizes, saves, and multiplies its power the moment it is shared. 

1. We cannot cut our relationship with God no matter what we do. God is the one who suffered for so many thousands of years. He has been a tormented God for so many thousands of years. If a person who will go crazy for the sake of Heaven then Heaven will not leave that person.

2. The external appearance of God does not speak of his true internal situation. Nobody can divide or change the relationship between God and His children. Nobody can cut that relationship between God and His children. What is the most important content between parents and children? It is love. How can we strengthen this love relationship? The main content is love and heart. 

3. What is the essence of the heart? It is the longing heart. That’s why the longing heart is very important. Longing heart has a magnetic “pulling” power. When we long for the cosmos, then we can pull the cosmos. As men and women, we have love’s magnetic power for each of us. This is the heart that cannot separate. It always pulls beings together. This is the automatic magnetic power of a longing heart.  The parents longing heart is always pulling children. Husbands pull wives. Parents pull children and vice-versa. Even the grandchildren have this enormous power of longing heart. Men always long for women. Women long for men. Longing heart has that kind of pulling power. This is the kind of power that does not have to be learned.

4. If Heavenly Parents have no longing heart for humankind. There will never be a chance or way to save God’s children.  A person with a longing heart can always get heavenly inspiration. A longing heart transcends the boundaries of time and space. This heart provides a supernatural electric connection between individuals. This kind of automatic communication is similar to the experiences spiritual beings have in the spirit world. When one person thinks or longs for another person, this person will quickly appear. 

5. The position of the group chairman is nothing compared to having a relationship between the Heavenly Parent and the child. How to build up this relationship without a longing heart? If we don’t feel a longing heart from someone then we should initiate it. We have to long for Heavenly Parents and True Parents. This kind of heart makes everything true, beautiful, and good.

6.If you have a longing heart for your object partner. Your object partner will appear because of love’s magnetic power.  Longing heart does not care about position, distance, wealth, academic, profession, or social position. If True Father climbs Mt. Everest, many people will follow him. Why? It is because they long to see and be with our True Father. This heart pushes them naturally to True Father. Longing heart can restore Cain. If you have a longing heart for your witnessing guest, that person will come.

7. The magnetic power of a longing heart will always put people back together. Perfect plus can create a perfect minus. If you have such a longing heart, the longer you don’t see each other the power of natural attraction becomes more powerful. Longing heart multiplies beyond time and space. 

8. Heavenly Parent has a longing heart for every one of us the most. When we want to see God, when we strongly feel the want to see God, True Parents will appear. Why? Because they are the true substantial body of God. The invisible God becomes visible in True Parents. This is the reason why True Parents immediately feels God’s sorrow.  This very close relationship with God makes him feel like God. 

9. How can we reach this level of longing heart? True Father worries about our senior blessed couples. They have become like businessmen or merchants. The give and take with you based on the benefit or what they can get from the relationship. If I say it, I can get something out of it. This is why Father is really worried. We became like merchants to each other. 

10. God wants to feel your heart as his child, not as a person who looks at God because He is the almighty God. Parents' hearts toward children make them want to know what is happening to you. They immediately want to take care of you and express their love to you that way. When you have a longing heart for your guest then your guest will always want to come back.

11.  This instinct to go back to our original hometown comes from a longing heart. When we don’t have a longing heart, we will become like businessmen. This kind of calculating character is like the evil personality of Judas. If we don’t have a longing heart in our minds, we are hypocrites. The real heart that cares to love and serves comes from the essence of a longing heart. With this great potential, you can easily connect to God and True Parents.

12. The enormous power of a longing heart can make diseases disappear. Heaven can cure cancer. Who cures your diseases? It is your longing heart that can heal your pain. It is the same heart that makes you find your home, your friend, or any historical or physical person you want to see.  People will come naturally to the center if you have a longing heart for your guests.

15. A lecturer who conveys God’s heart with tears will easily captivate the heart of people. If your lecture comes from the heart and JeongSeong, your guests' senses will experience it. The person with a longing heart will always be inspired to do things from the heart. This kind of person who can restore one Cain can restore one nation. God’s experience with this one person will be happier and significant than restoring one nation. If you get one nation like getting a person with a happy and longing heart then God will be truly happy and inspired.

16. Have you restored a Cain like crazy? It is very impossible to restore one Cain if you don’t have a longing heart to console the heart of God. If you have this kind of longing heart,  everything will fall into its rightful place easily. If we have this kind of heart, we will easily find people. 

17. How do we become successful HTMs? It is only through the longing heart. If you do the HTM mission like crazy. You will succeed. Heavenly Father is already giving you so many things. You need to have a longing heart to use these things in the right way. Otherwise, heavenly fortune will disappear. If you have such a longing heart and your body follows your mind, everything will just follow. This is how to be a successful HTM. 

It is our mind and heart first. It is not money and material first. Thus, we need to prepare our oil “longing heart” first. Why do we think of money or material first when we receive a mission like HTM? Money and material things are not subject. Heart, mind, and body are more important.

18. True Father yearned for people just as much as he yearned for God. Even if his eyes went red, he kept on crying for this longing for God. Because of Father’s longing heart, we are all here. Those who are not witnessing can never know the heart of God. You have to show your result. If you don’t love your Cain, you cannot prove your heart for God. Your love for Cain should be as much as your love for God. So, with this spirit, we need to go to our mission areas and fulfill the Will of God.

Thank you so much, Dr. Yong, for your deep, strong, and wonderful message.  Just as it is God’s priority to save His children. It should be our top priority to witness all the people back to Him. We can be His instruments of love because we were all brought here by His longing Heart. It is the longing heart that magnetizes God’s lost children, saves His people, and multiples the blessing the moment we share it with them. Thank you very much, Dr. Yong!

Reflection of Dr. Yong's Morning Devotion

Message:

June 12, 2020

by Marcelo Morquia

Have a grateful day to thank God /HP & TP for another day of understanding God ‘s Words , and True Father’s Teaching as our vitality elements to grow spiritually. Having day to day all knowing True Parents life and True father’s early experience as to pioneer himself to become a true model of a filial son ..,and daughters are truly remarkable historical to regard by anyone . This morning the whole presentation was totally great and amazing to learn the discovery of the True Father ‘s Life internal qualities, secrets and strategies . Or even more how to Love people and overcome the Trials and difficulties , as Much meeting God in Sorrowful hearts situations .

It all takes for me today. Recalled. - awakened and revived once more my all the details of what and how true fathers victorious laid the foundations thru his tears , blood and sweats and even fighting & fought the Satan and recognized in the spirit world as champion of all the temptations . It seems like I ‘ m like reading the” Best Sellers “ today and listening to the live expression of testimonies through the way you presented each day ( Dr. Yong , ) “ by giving life to express “ that can stimulate our hearts & mind to concentrate , visualizations sometimes and even putting ourselves / myself in the positions of true fathers as offering . ..! A lot of things need to be further re- apply in our daily life of faith .. that most of us have probably misunderstood . And never take into consideration for so long .. and so that ‘s why .. we cannot find ourselves to realize that as Blessed family members , we were able to enter the Completion level without recognizing the seriousness of reality in a true situation .

True Father's teach us so much of his unbelievable spiritual powers in sensitivities where he can God and discover the sorrowful hearts in a very tragic situation. He is truly a Filial Son in quality of heart that , “ when he yearn to meet those people who love for public virtues , whom God and Jesus does love at the same time . . is for him /TF to inherits the hearts and wanted to be respect for their great achievement on the worldwide level . Here TF was named those 5 Saints and sages such as Jesus Christ, Mohammad, Buddha, Confucius & Socrates . Whom he endured a longing heart , yearning to & had made him meet in his real experience.

This is so exemplary that I’ ve known from TF in his life much more when he expresses how does God in his truest situation in hearts to everyday crying upon meeting God in sorrowful hearts . This is so tremendous & terrible in all knowing with sympathy. Here TF discovered and revealed to us that he recognized God as his God ; God is my king of Kings. God is my teacher Of teachers & God is Parents Of Parents . It is in those moments when TF realized that He Truly recognized with his longing heart that is his parents . Such that in all these he inherited and wanted then for us to inherit in such kind of attitudes .. in longing for sorrowful heart , that according to TF , even god is invisible but we should recognize as our HParents we must experience his sorrowful hearts .

Moreover TF emphasized that this is the reality of God , so much that they cry together & embrace recognizing TF as his filial son who can comfort God Heart with tears . Accordingly God Considered TF then as his “ the most precious son., more than Sun, Moon & the Stars , among his creations . It was so tearful moments of embracing then knowing TF as his begotten who victoriously controlled all the spiritual powers by his own determinations .

Understanding so much in detail on how the Way TF came to Be victorious against the trials of Satan. Are here for us to be know that TF Set the standard as a top secrets virtues of every individuals Whose heart have the desires to how to inherits everything : TF endure 1st to have a Respect then , 2) should have a longing heart to
Love & 3)

Try To Resemble the kind of virtues of that line TF in order to be a victorious Filial Son .& Daughters
More of True Father’s life Strategies to fight against, trials, difficulties and formulas for us to learn in this Way of what Dr. Yong Presented in a Matters that we might be shaking up and Recalled our first motivation to join in the family . Are here observed as a strong command that any leader might check his qualities to confirm : When these aspects are common Very common in Our daily life : We need to control our 4 Physical Desire’s :
Such 1) Eating , 2) Sexual desire ;3) Sleeping and 4) desire for material things . According to TFather , that If we can control our 4 Physical desires more than everything else and have that longing heart for God. “ You have already entered the realm of completion . And the Spirit world can recognize each of us. Here True father emphasizes that the most serious Temptation is '' the Sexual desires !”

We must understand that Adam & Eve fall at the top growth stage because they cannot overcome this temptation against Arch angel -here all also we n understand from TF DPrinciples , that Archangels represent all things . And since TF became a model Who could make strong determination to overcome these 4 Physical desires .. he was then recognized by Spiritual World as the owners of all things , Where archangels tend to bow down to TF and recognized as a divine spirit person . Much more when he disregards all these 4 Physical desires he encounters , TF said that the Spiritual world automatically helps him to make it possible as He manages to mobilize the Spirits world ., since he was in heungham prison . It was TF experienced when he Showing his best and becoming famous is such a situation that he was able to control his desire to eat but manage to give his food to others and even render fasting conditions .

Accordingly, still at Prison TF managed to control himself and as he yearned for God .. when he entered prison & not for food . He controlled his desire and never talked , he happened to mobilize the spiritual world to cooperate with him . With the help of the spiritual world, TF was able to witness 12 disciples without talking ( while in the prison situations ) there he showed his strong determination to be humble and become the best among his fellow inmates upon mobilizing the spiritual world . Moreover As we believed from TF experience of the Spiritual world , it is for us to follow the same as strongly as we could . thereby we can then be able to mobilize the spiritual world at Same Time once we reach the level of Divine spirits on completion .
Why we cannot mobilize in order to increase our membership. These issues referred to the responsibilities of each one of us as family members . But here, accordingly we need to look up the kind and quality of a leader that we are following to emulate his standard of Quality . Even a certain Leader who is working hard in responsibilities
is Here subject to be asked . What Quality Of a Leader do we have? What ‘ s leadership quality is why we cannot increase & recognize our membership? We can realize that some of the leaders could possibly cannot truly control their physical desires !

We can say that we fully never reach the realm Completion level and realize what's truly our failures . As leaders are believed that they are great people , we should automatically give a certain respect to us or /on you / to him . This is where TF says : that before he can control the cosmos , he must first control himself !” Aju ! If we can control ourselves then we can control the cosmos ! Aju ! We might ask ourselves here also to this question : Had we been able to control yourself , where the spiritual world can recognize you ? “

These are TF golden rules in life that : his Dignity was , we were able to control his own self ! So as I have Reflected to this effect once again , we learned TF secret strategies being championed as dignified person to Praised as Messiah . TF loved so Much God that always in the hearts to comfort God sorrowful hearts .., and always appeared to him in order to embrace his situations , thereby being his filial son and in one heart they find happiness in a situation of having the same as a happy god , whenever TF is happy . Here TF father understands. How much he loves God ., as we also need to be Crazy for God as our Heavenly Parent.

To join them as a team .. when can comfort Heaven fathers sorrowful heart by having our commitments to support TM and TP and HTP to have them a nation to own and to reside as A king Heart and true Love on earth . We need to offer one nation to God and that we can solve the sorrowful heart and God Tears will stop to end. Let’s cry everyday too long for God's hearts according To TF as he did.

Our is to show respect, love to long for him and resemble the characters of Divine in spirit . Aju!

Wow , what a great day and tearful moments to Recalled once more . Truly a sorrowful moments Of listening and understanding each day and everyday ! God bless us and to You & your family Dr. Yong .

Thank you Abojiee!

Respectfully yours,

Marcelo Morguia

Reflection, June 13, 2020 

By: Jun Jumawan 

Good afternoon to our Beloved Heavenly Parents, our True Parents, and Cheonghwejangnim!

I am always grateful that once again I could receive a lot of inspirations through attending Dr. Yong`s Morning Devotion and guidance. I am also very grateful that I can take my time to write my reflection today and that God is always protecting us every day. *A very important lesson I cannot forget from the opening of the morning devotion.

The heart of giving is very important. Those who always give will not perish. As a leader, one of the qualifications is to have a heart of giving.

One of the important points as a lecturer is to understand the value of one participant is equivalent to the value to a whole universe. From today`s guidance “Father`s tears”.

To inherit True Father`s heart to have a behavior of a filial child of God who always cried for God`s sorrowful heart and wants to comfort God. What I`ve learned from it is that if we don`t understand the reality of Adam and Eve`s fall then we cannot overcome the problem when we will be facing it.

A very important point I have realized is how we can feel deeply in our hearts the fall of Adam and Eve. We must inherit their sorrowful heart of repentance after they committed the fall. Adam and Eve`s story is not just a fairy tale. It is a reality that is confronting in our daily life. We need to inherit Cain`s sorrowful heart of repentance who became a murderer of his brother.

We also need to inherit Abel`s sorrowful heart of repentance who became arrogant in front of his elder brother, Cain. When we educate our children, we need to focus on understanding God`s sorrowful situation after the fall of His son and daughter Adam and Eve. As True Father said; without understanding God`s sorrowful heart, we cannot become God`s children. We need to cry out yearning to God.

We must train ourselves that in any difficult situation we will be confronted, we need to think of God`s sorrowful situation first. The highest standard we can desire is to comfort God`s sorrowful Heart. We need to God and True Parents wish and dreams to realized Chun il Guk nation, realized Chun Il Guk in my family till next three generations, in my tribe without fail.

We need to also inherit True Father`s heart shedding tears for the early pioneers and elders who sacrificed their lives, their own family, and love ones just to follow the footstep of the messiah. We owe so much from them and therefore I am very grateful to them eternally.

Once again, thank you so much for this very important guidance Dr. Yong Ajuuuuu!!!Kamsahamnida!

Yearn for God More Than Eating, June 12, 2020

 Reflection of Dr. Yong's Morning Devotion

Message: Yearn for God More Than Eating

June 12, 2020 by Rafael E. Ablong

In this message, "Yearn for God More Than Eating",  Dr. Yong emphasized the need to love until our consciousness starts loving.  These are the points that reminded me:

1. Yearn for and Love God, Jesus, and Humankind. We must love God, love Jesus, and love the people whom God and Jesus desired to love. We can learn True Father’s secret from here. Father’s priority is to yearn for the heart of God. Public virtue is about the love of the country. It is about patriotism. He yearned to meet the patriots who went beyond themselves and their families. Father yearned to meet the five great saints in human history: Jesus, Mohammed, Confucius, Buddha, and Socrates. By connecting to these saints, he could love the world. 

2. This means Father loves the world through all these five great saints in human history. To love, he loved the saints. It means Father loved all the central figures in history. He truly loved these five great saints. I learned from Father’s beautiful attitude. To love the world, he loved the saints. To love history, he loved all the central figures in human History

3. To inherit the heart of God, we must observe these.

-Respect the saints. Respect the patriots and all central figures in history. If we don’t respect them, we don’t receive any inheritance. To inherit something from the person you love and respect. 

-Longing Heart is the second criterion is to inherit God’s sorrows. 

-Resemble the personality of God. To inherit the life of faith, you have to meet Rev. Yo Han Lee. Resemble God’s heart and achievements. Dr. Yong always yearns for Rev. Yo Han Lee. Even during his high school years, he always wanted to meet Re. Yo Han Lee. That is why he wants to inherit from Rev. Yo Han Lee how to speak. Inheriting God's Heart starts from resembling Him.

-We were supposed to learn and inherit God's heart. That starts with a longing heart. That is why the most important thing in our life is to have a heartistic relationship with God and True Parents.

4. We have to respect all things God created. How could God create such a world? We need to respect and be with them together.  This is the same for children. They will long for their parents every time they leave their homes for work.

5. Respecting someone allows us to inherit that person’s heart and personality. How many of your children or members long for you whenever you leave your home or center. You will qualify to become a minister if members long to see or hear from you. 

6. If you don’t have an object with a longing heart. You are a hypocrite. Who is the most miserable person? It is the person who does not have anyone longing or yearning for him. Longing Heart is the most important virtue of a parent and child. If you do not like or love your teacher, you cannot learn very well.  A teacher who loves his students will always inspire and motivate the students to learn well.

7. We have to yearn for a person like Noah who did not change his faith for 120 years even if the people think he was crazy for building the Ark on top of the mountain. We need to inherit that person’s life of faith.  We need to look beyond this historical portrayal of Noah as a simple narrative. This is the problem. Do you respect or long for Abraham? A longing heart goes beyond time and space. This transcendental element of yearning is the very reason this motivation is essential to our life of faith. A life of faith is a life of longing to see or feel God in our life. Jesus is not just a person 2,000 years ago. He is with me because I feel his power of love within me.

8. Do you respect True Parents, True Father, and True Mother? If we do not have a longing heart cannot inherit the fortune. It is True Father’s longing heart for Jesus that he was able to meet him. Even if you see the weak or negative points of a person, once you love or yearn for him. Those negative or weak points disappear. You must be crazy in love so that you can get good results.

9. How much must we love God? We must love God until the end and beyond. We must love until our consciousness begins to fade. If we go to the extremes, it is bound to come back to you. Going to the extremes means until you die. All the central figures taught us, they need not give up until they died. It is like the experience of Abraham when he offered his son Isaac. He went beyond the love and sacrifice his son Isaac.

10. We must love God beyond the ordinary way. He is an extraordinary being so our love for him should go beyond that extreme of loving him until eternity. Jesus loved God beyond the extremes. Jesus died on the cross but because of his desire or yearning for God, he was resurrected. Jesus did 4o days fasting 2XX.  We must love not in a normal way. Its memory should go beyond. This is the reason why the Bible says,” those who want to die, will live. Those who want to live will die”

11. True Parents showed themselves to the world as a human being so we can succeed going through the way. Don’t you think Father has a desire to eat? True Father was a human being, too. He also desired to eat, to sleep, to have sex, and other things we need as human beings. If True Father did not appear as a human being. Nobody on earth would become like True Parents. If Father did not appear like that, no human being can become perfect. He was the model of everyone’s restoration and perfection. He showed us that even if he was a human being, he could overcome the ordinary feelings of pain, hunger, and all every day because of his strong will and determination to be with God. Why? Because he understood God’s heart and he was longing to be with God all the time. Unlike us, True Father felt the existence of God strongly in his heart. The God he knew was not conceptual but a real God of substantial presence and heart in his life. We need to resemble True Parents.

12. Can I yearn for God as much as I am yearning for food?  Father said he did not come to prison to eat. He was there to restore the world. So even, if the food at Hungnam prison was always not enough. He was still able to share half of his food. Due to hunger, Father was even stimulated to eat a single bean on the floor near the toilet. But he thought I am the son of God. I am not here for the food. He realized that when he shared of his food with other people who needed more food than him. He got an incredible amount of spiritual power. From that time on, he started sharing half of his food every day for 21 days and more. Dr. Yong tried to follow what True Father did but he regretted giving part of his food for a few days. But, after that, he gained spiritual power to continue doing what he did.

13. If we can control our physical body from all four desires: food, clothing, shelter, and sex. The spirit world will recognize you. When a person loves God more than food or sexual desire, Satan will bow down and say to you that you are the lord. To enter the world of completion, we need to control our sexual desire so we can enter that immense world of love and beauty, truth, and goodness. When we overcome the four desires of the physical body, our spirit will become a divine spirit and our membership will grow.

14. When we yearn for God more than eating then we will become a divine being. If Father submitted to the desires of his body, he would not be th Messiah. How did the father overcome the desires of the body? It is his intense longing for God. Father knew how the communists operated at Hungnam prison camp, so even though he didn’t speak. The spirit world cooperated with him and he was able to witness to 12 disciples in the prison. So how did he mobilize the spirit world? When you control your physical desires especially sexual desire, the  Spirit World will come down and help you. We need to love God more than our physical desires. So even if we do not talk about witnessing, the spirit world will start witnessing to them. 

15. We need to reach the Divine Spirit level by loving God more than anything else. Anyone, who can control the physical desire especially sexual desire. The spirit world will help you succeed in everything you do. The archangel or Satan will respect you. There is a lot of temptation, especially for teenagers. But then they overcome all kinds of temptations that will come to them. They will be qualified to become the owner.

16. If you always have chapter 2 in your life. The spirit world cannot help you. But if you overcome, the members will automatically recognize and grow. We will have a lot of spiritual power if we control our desires.

When we recognize that even when God is lonely, he comforts us. Even when it is sad, he sympathized with us. This unbreakable connection between parent and children always cause God to comfort His children even if he is sad, lonely, and unrecognized. This is the heart of Heavenly Parents. He always takes care of us without thinking about himself. When we recognize this amazing connection between us and Heavenly Parents and True Parents, we will feel one with them in the heart. When we understand Their Heart, then we become one with them and we will be able to overcome the desires of the body, get the help of the good spirit world, spiritually and members will multiply.

Thank you Dr. Yong for this very enlightening and truthful message. I agree with everything you said.  I have to strongly overcome all my physical desires to comfort God and grow as His real son. I want to be His son who able to overcome sin, Satan, and temptations of physical desires.  Thank you much again.   ---- Rafael E. Ablong

How To Move My Parents, June 11, 2020

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

Message: How To Move My Parents

June 11, 2020 by Rafael E. Ablong

Dr. Yong's topic today is entitled "How To Move My Parents"

It is about how to move our Heavenly Parents, True Parents, and my parents. These are some of the highlights today.

1. True Father's Resolution When He Set out on the Way of God's Will

-I thought have to overcome the point where my cells cry out. I felt I must go to the place where my flesh will be torn and my bones break, not in an environment where I am welcomed.

-When he first set out to do the Will of God, True Father's cells cried out of their limitations, too. His eyes were swollen from too much crying. He cannot see the sunshine because of his swollen eyes. He gives very long speeches. Sometimes, it is hard for him to walk because of too much tiredness. Sometimes, he scolds his body to follow his mind.  He used his physical body beyond his limits. He had the determination that even if his flesh is torn and his bones break, he will not stop. He puts a lot of Jeongseong for everyone.

2. We need to follow True Father's indomitable pioneering spirit. He said he will always be a pioneer because he cannot still liberate God. Until he liberates God, he will be a pioneer. He wants to die in the frontline doing God's line. He does not like a comfortable place. That is why he always wants to go to the ocean because it is the hardest place to be in. The ocean gives you a lot of difficulties. Too much sea-sickness wears you down. There is so much discomfort when you go fishing in the ocean.  Father always pushes himself so hard to do this.

3. Have you experienced almost falling down due to sleepiness while eating? According to Rev. Yu, he had seen Father trying to put his foot in his mouth while almost falling down to sleep. He saw this happened before him. When he goes to his bed after coming back late at night, True Father prays.  Before he goes to sleep, he prays a lot. 

Father said I will be an eternal pioneer until God and humankind are liberated from hell. Even when True Father was in his 90s, he always worked hard as a pioneer. Although, he is very tired and exhausted. He cannot say it. He always carries God’s sorrowful heart. He treats his body like his slave of slaves. He evens asks if his eyes are qualified to enter the Kingdom of God. Have we even asked our nose, mouth, ears, and the other parts of the body if they are qualified to enter the Kingdom of Heaven? We need to ask ourselves if we have the qualification to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

4. Have you seen True Father’s hands? His hands look very tired and heavy from hard work. Father worked so hard for the sake of others. That is why who can testify if you can enter the kingdom of Heaven? Ask your body parts: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, and all if they are qualified to experience Heaven. True Father has experienced too much persecution in his life. But he never gave up.

5. We should emulate True Father’s incredible and extraordinary attitude of humility, sacrifice, and life for the sake of others. He wakes up early than anyone. That is why Father asked us to do this so nobody, even Satan can accuse us.  Father prepared to suffer beyond hardship with a pioneering spirit. He feels uneasy when he is in a comfortable place. 

6. When father started his mission a long time ago, many were inspired by him and made promises to stay with him and work for God’s Will. They pledged and determined to follow Father. Yet, after Father was released from Hungnam prison, she was asked by a woman if he was still following the way. At that moment, Father promised to himself to bring the day when they do realize their actions in lamentation. He pledged to himself to bring to God a victorious result for everyone. So even if Father was betrayed by his followers, he never stopped. Even if he was persecuted and stooped upon, he never gave up his commitment and love to liberate the sorrows of God and humankind.

7. Pioneership is the spirit we need to follow from True Father. Who is the pioneer of pioneers? He is the Heavenly Parent. He is the number one pioneer. Where do you want to die? Do you want to die in a comfortable place or in the frontline?  I want to die in front of the podium when I am delivering a speech by the podium. How beautiful it is to die as a pioneer. We should die on the frontline. This is why when we have a comfortable situation, we need to repent and feel uncomfortable.

8. At least once a year, we need to send out the second generation to pioneer a new place where they can find God. We cannot find God in a comfortable place. God’s sorrowful heart dwells in the most uncomfortable place. We cannot stay in a comfortable place for a long time. The airplane becomes my house. Traveling is not an enjoyable job.  But just imagine True Mother, a 76-year-old woman, traveling from one place to another. It is very hard to travel if you are older. Our heart should always carry God’s Parental Heart. Our body should be a servant to our mind. We need to dominate it so we can do the Will of God.

9. How do we move our parents? A child who recognizes how much his parents have sacrificed and toiled for him makes his parents’ pain his pain, makes his parents toil his toils, and presenting his parents' history in front of them can inspire their parents. This is the heart of a filial and loyal child. The parent who will meet such a child will explode with happiness and gratefulness to God.  We must know Father’s efforts of searching for humankind in detail. If we understand God’s heart this way, God will complete joy and happiness.

10. Filial sons and daughters become a total offering of the parents. Filial piety means having no opinion of himself. The offering does not have his own wishes and situations. So filial sons and daughters are complete offerings of the parents. Just like Isaac who was a complete offering to God. He did not say his opinion. He did not have a concept of self-preservation but of himself as the offering of his father Abraham to God. If a child recognizes his parents' sacrifices for him, he can easily offer himself to his parents. Our recognition of our parents' love and sacrifice will truly inspire them.

11. We must think of God’s past. Even if it is just for a short moment, we must remember how God took care of us from the beginning of our life until now. This kind of reflective thinking and grateful heart will make us truly appreciate God’s toils in our life. When we look at the details of the things and the people surrounding our life, we realize that Heavenly Father has worked so hard in our life. When we think this way and God feels it  He will explode in joy and happiness. He will feel so complete, satisfied, and overwhelmed with joy beyond description.

12. If we truly confess from our heart, console God’s heart and comfort His situation. God will feel so moved by his children. How can we make God cry in happiness? We need to work harder than Heavenly Parents! Whenever we meet trials and difficulties and we ask God not to worry, God is truly comforted. We have to make our physical mother and father cry in gratitude and happiness for our love and concern for them. So in order to move our Heavenly Parents, True Parents, and our physical parents. We must know our parent’s sorrowful environment, situation, and circumstances.

13. Father was so upset when he found out that God is not in Heaven but in Hell trying to save His children from  Hell. We have to know our parents’ sorrowful dreams and situations. When he was just a sixteen-year-old man. Father asked God’s wishes and dreams. God was moved by his love and heart. This heart of a filial child easily melts the pain and agony in the hearts of the parents.

14. Many people shed tears holding the Bible or shedding tears holding onto the cross. But there is no one who holds onto Father’s heart and sheds tears. The majority of Christians nowadays on earth are like this.  However, we do not shed tears holding onto the cross, we hold onto the Father’s hearts who had to endure the pain of the cross yet still show love. We need to remember that the cross did not bring us salvation. It is the love of Jesus that makes us go beyond the cross. It is what brings us salvation This is not denying the cross. 

15.  When we look at Jesus on the cross. We need to shed tears for him and God himself. They have worked so hard for us to save us from Satan. People sympathize with Jesus through the cross. But nobody sympathized with God.  Heaven will cling onto the person and weep bitterly if he lives in a more miserable environment than anyone else. The person who is hurt and treated unfairly, who endures all pain, tragedy, and unhappiness not for his own sake but for the sake of the Father, for the sake of finding his original homeland can move the heart of God.

16. Our suffering for others and our sacrifices for God are our treasures in Heaven. We may not see it now, but like Dr. Lek who was imprisoned in Thailand on behalf of God and True Parents, our history with God is already written in the Book of Life.  Why God allows us to go into the period of trials and difficulties,? It is to make us realize and become with His sorrowful heart.

Dr. Yong’s narration of Dr. Yu’s experience of seeing True Father falling asleep while eating after coming back from the ocean reminded me of my direct experience with True Parents in 1995. I was one of the two close-in internal security of True Parents at the Manila Hotel. After they arrived, we went together with them in the elevator going to the penthouse section on the top floor of the hotel. In the elevator at the time, I saw how True Mother held True Father’s hand and arm because he was too sleepy to stand. He was so tired and True Mother had to keep him safe and awake by holding him close to the side of the elevator so he won't fall down. True Father didn’t say a word and True Mother was just there beside him keeping his body close to her and the side of the elevator to keep him from falling. Later, when they got to their room, I saw Peter Kim massaged True Father’s legs before sleeping. At that time, I just felt True Father was also human like me but he always tried to dominate his body so he could do his mission and comfort God.

Thank you Dr. Yong for this inspiring message today. My physical experiences of True Parents are just a few from those years but I always remember those precious moments in my heart. Those were brief experiences, yet they make a lifetime of grateful memories with God. Remembering those days just makes me grateful for God and True Parents. To move the heart of God really is to be a true filial child who has no opinion and motivation for himself. It is a natural feeling to have, but a difficult one to keep. Especially if our life is not always focused on what is truly essential in this world. 

I hope I can accomplish this goal of truly becoming a filial child of God with no self-centered thoughts and motivation for myself. How I wish I can be such a perfect person in the soonest possible time. But until I accomplish this objective, I need to keep trying to be a filial son with a pioneering heart and spirit so I can console God’s sorrow, give Him hope and happiness.

Thank you so much, Dr. Yong, again.

Heart is the Framework of the Unification Movement, June 10,2020

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

Message: Heart is the Framework of the Unification Movement.

June 10, 2020 by Rafael E. Ablong

The topic of Dr. Yong's message today is "Heart is the Framework of the Unification Movement.” In this message, Dr. Yong clearly explained how our movement started and how it is supposed to end the sorrowful heart of God.  Briefly, we are the cause of His sorrow, the reason for His pain, and the solution to His suffering. If humankind, understand His heart as True Parents do, then the restoration of humanity and the recreation of God’s ideal become substantial. These are some of the things that moved my heart today.

1. Framework means the central axis. So this means, the heart is the central axis of our movement. Truth, Divine Principle, and Unification Thought are important but these teachings are the foundation for entering the world of heart. The main axis of the Unification movement which is based on Divine Principle and Unification Thought is the heart of God.  If we do not focus on heart then we will lose the focus and purpose of teaching the Divine Principle and Unification Thought.

2. Divine Principle and Unification Thought are not the central axis and origin of the Unification Movement. God's heart is the center and axis of Divine Principle and Unification Thought. The core content of love is the heart. We need to focus on God's heart.

3. According to True Father's testimony, he was a very strong righteous boy. At a very young age, he already acquired a very keen sense of sensitivity, the dignity of heart, and strength of character.  He prayed day and night and worried about how to achieve such kind of environmental change. He cannot find joy and happiness. He finds this world to be a terrible place of unrighteousness and pain. He cannot stand looking at unrighteous things and would directly fight until he wins. He didn't care about age and physical structure, he just wanted to use his power to settle everything. Until one day, he met a tremendous psychological experience. What was that? He met God substantially. He didn't know a God of power and might but one of resentment and sorrow.  At that time, he experienced a change in his destiny.

4. He had a lot of questions before meeting God on that special incredible day. God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient but why can't He solve all the problems in the world? He asked God and prayed many times about the answer to all his questions. But when he met God, he found out that God is not a God of glory and happiness. He was a God of much bitterness, sorrow, and pain. This and many other reflections and findings of the God he was praying for was nothing compared to a real experience. After his experience of meeting a God of sorrow, he became determined to solve God's pain and sorrow. He strongly wanted to liberate God from His tears and resentment. This small boy decided to liberate a God of tears and suffering. 

5. Since True Father met Heavenly Parents, he realized his life was not a simple matter. He cried day and night and realized that the framework of his life is God’s sorrowful heart. He developed a strong determination to take revenge on Satan as a filial son of God. It dawned upon him that fighting Satan and wiping out his evil dominion is to fight with a powerful heart of God. The origin of our movement heart and tears. 

6. The origin of God before the Fall was joy and happiness. After the fall, his origin became a life of sorrow and painful heart. There is a lot of conflicts to resolve like physical and spiritual problems. It was always hard to control our physical bodies with our minds. Why is our determination to change and be victorious to overcome the weakness and sin of the physical body? Why is it almost impossible to dominate the body? Do you know the origin of my power to do all these?

Father said, it is my experience of God’s sorrowful heart that made me determined to liberate Him by overcoming Satan and remove God’s pain and suffering. So he had to determine a lot to overcome the desires of his physical body. He said my body is my enemy. I need to take revenge through this body. So whenever he thinks of God’s sorrow, he feels very strong willpower not to be defeated by the physical desire, sin, and Satan. 

7.Even if we try hard to settle all the problems automatically after the Fall.  If we experience the sorrowful heart of God, we will be able to strengthen the framework of our movement. Since he experiences God’s sorrow, he changed his desires completely. 

8.How about Noah who had to work for the Ark in the mountain? Why did he do it? How about Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Jacob, Joseph?  How were they able to sacrifice their whole life? It is only by the power of experiencing the sorrowful heart of God.  The key to overcoming Satan and become victorious on the cross is to strongly experience this Heart of God.

9. So how do we experience God’s sorrowful heart which will give us the power to overcome sin and Satan? It is only by meeting God could we have a life-changing experience to live and love for God. This is the reason why True Mother established the Heavenly Parents Holy Community. If our understanding of God is conceptual, we cannot grow. However, if we experience the real and sorrowful heart of God. We will grow. Why do we still have so many problems and mistakes after the blessing? This is the most serious issue in the unification movement. Even if we know the movement and our faith, it is still conceptual. If there is no heart, there is nothing. 

10. Heart or Shimjung,  To unite the mind and body, we need to experience God’s sorrowful heart. When True Father experienced and understood God’s painful heart,  he determined to liberate God. That is why we need to overcome trials and difficulties with the power of God. We just need to go straight, anyway. Even if a tremendous problem is blocking our way, we need to think of the ways we can overcome it. To be victorious, we always need to communicate with God, also through Abel. 

11. The reason why Father is never exhausted was that he never left God’s Realm of Heart. Even if he would pass through steep and rugged paths, mountains, rivers, great oceans, and continents.  He would not be exhausted. Why? It is because he deeply experienced God’s desperate heart, profound love, and deep resentment of Satan for having betrayed God and left His dominion. He did not get exhausted and never left the realm of God.

12. So what is the motivation behind establishing the Unification Movement? It is to realize the immense love God has for humankind. If God is the parent of humanity, then how much He loves humankind? What is the end of His sadness after the Fall? What is the standard of His love? It is His absolute parental heart.  Religious people nowadays cannot ask or even think of these questions. 

13. The history of Adam,  Eve, and God began with sorrow. How can we experience the origin of man’s inevitable sorrow? How did it start?  If we cannot understand the heart of God’s sorrow, then we cannot solve our family problems and other human problems.

!4. When God looks at His central figures from the time of Adam and Eve, to Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. He feels so miserable. The body is supposed to be God’s temple. How can your body become Satan’s body.? Even if you received the blessing, you still belong to Satan’s temple. How can you solve this problem in your lifetime? Can you imagine God’s sorrow when He looks at you? Have you asked yourself this question? Why do we still have Satan’s nature even when we are already a blessed couple? This is God’s sorrow. So how do we experience God’s sorrow? It is only by understanding and experiencing God’s sorrowful heart.  How much will God be sorrowful because of what I do?

15. If our God remains and idea or concept, our spiritual body won’t grow up. We will always be stagnant. How do we solve this problem? We need to experience the real heart and sadness of God. Sorrowfulness should not be a concept. We must experience His heart as His real sons and daughters.  If this young man (True Father) can change his destiny and determine to liberate God’s heart at that young age when he started. How about us?  True Father is the model for all of us.

We need to understand and feel the heart of each central figure in human history. We have to understand their heart for God, for their family, and their experience of God. As blessed families, we need to pray and reflect on our present spiritual situation, and our history. Liberating the heart of God is not just experiencing His sorrow. It is also about understanding the sorrowful heart of past central figures in history. Without incarnating the heart of God, feeling His sorrows strongly in our hearts and minds. It will be hard to end this persistent cycle of sin and evil in our life. We cannot put a stop to all the evil things we do if we do not feel the immensity of God’s pain and sorrows whenever we sin since the beginning of time.

In conclusion, the framework and origin of our movement is God’s heart. That is why when we look at the logos of the Unification Movement, the FFWPU, and other UM organizations,  we always see the symbols of heart and give and take action. Through our unity with God and True Parents' heart-centered efforts, as blessed family members, we can ultimately liberate the heart of God. Thus, our existence and the existence of the movement is inevitably linked to God’s sorrowful heart. This purpose of liberating the sorrowful heart of God is the very reason why we exist as blessed couples and families. We should become filial sons and daughters who understand the sorrowful heart of God. We should work hard to remove God's sorrows as we build His Heavenly Community on earth and in Heaven.

Thank you so much Dr. Yong for another day of noteworthy inspirations, positivity, and optimism. We deeply feel that this Covid 19 crisis is helping us actually to examine ourselves and to revive our eternal commitments with a stronger framework of faith and substantial attendance to Heavenly Parents and True Parents, in unity with their Heart.

Thank you, thank you.
