God’s Will and the Ocean
Speech given at the Leaders' Conference, June 27, 1983
This is a new chapter, a new era, a new history. You are the master of this new
history. In order to do that, you must have determination. Without that
determination, you will not even get near it. Once you determine to risk your
life for that purpose, you can separate yourself from Satan; Satan will have no
death. That means that God will take your sacrifice, and God will never let you die. That is the Principle.
This is my life exactly! I have always been ready to die. This tradition goes down
from me to you, from you to all others. As long as you are alive, as long as you
are breathing, you cannot complain because you have already made that
resolution; you are ready to die, but you have not died yet. You can say, "I am
still alive! I must go on, more and more. I am not yet dying, that means I can
still go further. Thank You God!"
My legs are always swollen for some reasons not caused by using leg muscles. (So, I
experience much discomforts and pains) with the overuse of my legs from standing
on the deck so long. However, I say, "Thank You, God! I have not yet died; I am
still breathing. God, I can go on." 
One night there was an accident and I collapsed in the bathroom. Mother does not
know, but I fainted. When I got up, the first words I spoke were, "Thank You
God, I have not died. I can go on and on and on." That is the kind of tradition
I laid in the Unification Church. How can we complain? If we disregard this
tradition, America will become a very dismal and tragic country. When you
inherit this tradition, America will be glorious and prosperous. Everlasting
blessings will come to you if you do inherit this.
