We are Oneby 김인주


“Mom~ why are we not spinning even though the Earth is revolving?”

“Haha, ask the Earth~”

“But the Earth is outside!”


With a very serious face, my youngest son--who is six years old and very mischievous--asked me this question, and I responded to his question with a joke. 

His face clearly expressed his thinking--he could not dare to ask the Earth since it is too far away.

The conversation ended in this way, and he soon got caught up in playing with something else.


‘That’s right, the Earth that we imagine is outside [of us]. We belong to the Earth; we human beings are one with the Earth, but we do not live thinking that we are one and are close to each other~’

We are separate from the Earth, but we are also one. We are inseparable even though we, human beings, become a handfuls of ashes and dust at the end of our lives.

God and we are in that same kind of relationship. In a miniaturized way, God and I are like that as well..  

The Earth  that is 13.7 billion years old--possessing an enormous size and a substantial age--does not ignore or look down upon human beings because we are so puny. Likewise, God never ignores me or turns away from me because I am so puny, not even once.

“Woooooow~~”


For once--at least this time--I should be shocked.

I was shocked by myself, and I am typically a person who does not get shocked easily; I do not get shocked, not even a little bit--as little as the amount of soup that is left in a pot after it has been overcooked and has evaporated. I was so shocked that, with a shocked heart and shocked facial expression, I exclaimed about six times.  

“Oh, My God”

Then the shock slowly became real. 

(Translator’s note: The little amount of soup that is left is the degree that she would get shocked). 


‘Haven't I subconsciously been thinking that God is out there--far, far away from the Earth?’

Even though I have listened to the message, “Serve God, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Son, and live always conversing with Them in your life,” there are many times when I live without thinking, or when I live thinking unnecessary thoughts. 

We are one~   


“God~~ please listen to my story.”
