Let’s love each other leaving no regret.

The Word that the Lord ‘hurriedly’ preaches.

I remembered a saying when I heard this week’s message: regret for one’s unkindness to one’s parents when alive. The trees feeling sorrow by [cold] wind are lamenting. Trees want to stay calm, but because of the wind they are shaken. In the same way, “children want to be successful and serve their parents well someday; however, parents do not wait for their success [but pass away].”

This week’s message was about changing quickly and hurriedly becoming a raptured spirit. In the message, [the Lord] used words regarding ‘hurrying’ about 30 times. This shows how urgently he is preaching the word. What makes Him so urgent? During a recent message, the Teacher said that in his youth, he saw lovers [who visited] Daedun Mountain loving each other so much that it made others embarrassed. When he saw them, he thought that he would like to love the Lord like the lovers and embrace the Lord like them. It was very shocking to me.

Naturally I thought the only person in 13.7 billion years who would think of loving the Holy Son as he sees lovers’ expressing their love to each other is the Teacher. Perhaps Heaven would have been very shocked watching the Teacher and would have thought, “as a human being, how can he love the Trinity so much?” As the Teacher expressed a poem of his, “because the Teacher’s eyes connected with the Heaven through love, the Heaven was taken by surprise.”

Receive God with love and live together loving Him.

Through the message, ‘the miracle of love’, we confirmed that the expectation of the Trinity for human beings from the time of creation until now was only love. They have been waiting longing for the day they could love [human beings] and looking for people they could love. This deep word of shimjeong truly touched my heart deeply. After waiting for so long, to finally bear the first fruit between Heaven and the earth in Providence history was an unbelievable miracle.

The reason the Holy Son wants to fulfill love quickly is that there is not much time left to love the Holy Son who came to the earth. He is asking, “Please stop [what you have been doing] now and live loving the Holy Son.” Like an old catch phrase by a famous Korean comedian, “Treat someone well when they are with you.”, the departure of the Holy Son is near, so “Let’s love each other leaving no regret.”

This golden opportunity, the time the Holy Son is on earth, what would happen if we lost this chance? If you watched ‘Ghost’ or the ‘Sixth sense’, you would probably remember the scenes in which the main characters who had lost their physical bodies so wanted to touch the loved ones standing before their eyes. How did they suffer from the past that they did not love them enough? We clearly know that not only the scenes from these movies but when people face the last moments of their lives—such as 911 Terror in the US—they missed their beloved ones and the final words on their lips were messages of love.

Let’s live a life that has nothing to do with regret: “I should’ve done ….”

Could there be greater sorrow than the sorrow of love? A poet expresses in such a way. The saddest expression we can have in words or writing is “I should’ve done…” We think that one day we will have a perfect and deep love with Heaven, but Heaven cannot continue to wait for us to love them, and they move on according to the set time of Heaven. We should quickly realize the situation, hurriedly rapture, and make a world of perfect love, a world of no more regret. By any means, such an expression—“I should’ve loved Him more back then.”—should have nothing to do with us.
