Heavenly Mother came running, down to this earth to find us.


Large eyes that can see far-away distance…
Long lashes that protects its eyes from sandstorms… 
Humps that are used to store fat… 
The camel in a documentary channel caught my eyes.

Camels have been evolving to be suitable in the desert, and hardly every run. They don’t have any natural enemies, but when they are under the scorching sun; their temperature rises and use up all their energy that they have stored. 

That’s why camels walk slowly and peacefully on the sand, using their cushion-like, round flat soles.

You can get this sense, of the camels’ calmness during their delivery. 

When it is time for their delivery, even camels raised by the nomads deliberately walk away to a far distant place and quietly undergo through labor all by themselves. 

In the documentary, they caught a scene of an actual camel tolerably delivering its calf all by itself. 

The camel and its calf didn't return, though the nomad waited for three days. The two nomads got on a motorcycle and began searching for the camel and its calf. 

Though they found them, the calf couldn't even balance its body with its weak legs. 

Finding no other alternative, they got it on the motorcycle and took off where the flock of other camels stayed.

The mother camel seemed to following the motorcycle slowly. When the motorcycle started to speed up with a splutter, the mother camel started to run with all its strength. 

64km/h…

Panting, the mother camel didn't stop and ran continuously on its maximum speed. 

Seeing the mother camel urgently racing for its calf, my heart also pounded quickly.  

The camel was running, fearing that it might recede from its calf. It looked so pitiful because it was forgetting that its temperature was rising, and its energy was running out. 

Camels’ maternal love goes on extreme, when their calves die. 

When a calf dies, the nomads leave its body openly as an aerial sepulture, for it to decay naturally. They would always take the mother camel with them when this took place.

That’s because the mother camel, remembering its calf’s scent over a year, would always go back to the place where its calf’s body was laid. 

One of the camels that lost its calf went back to that place after three days. It stayed near its calf’s cold body for a long time. 

Maybe the mother needs some time to bury its calf in its heart. When the mother camel misses its calf, it soon comes back to the same place. 

Panting and running for its calf, swallowing its sadness in the place where its calf’s body was laid, and coming back to its dwelling place…

All this; the mother camel’s love resembles our Heavenly Mother’s love.

Heavenly Mother came running, down to this earth with a burning heart, to find Her children who were separated in Heaven.

Neglecting Mother who was running heart-brokenly, I regret my past when I was insisting my own way. 

The path of spiritual desert would have been so harsh for Her, and yet She carries all Her children’s pile of sins. I regret myself and pray a prayer of repentance for God the Mother, who would have been hurt even in Her deepest heart.

I want to change Her tears of sorrow to a smile. The tears that She had shed so much for this child…

Step by step, I want to fill my lacking character and faith, and become a child giving a pleasing smile to our Heavenly Mother.

Washing feet each other as the example of Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother



It was the day when the event for New Jerusalem’s Day was held. 
Through the blessings of God the Mother, many brothers and sisters could participate in the event. 

The more thankful thing was that my husband was also blessed to make it to the event.
On the way home after everything was over, all our church members shared the fragrance of Zion on the bus and it was such a wonderful time. 
Actually, many male adults participated this time and God the Mother encouraged and blessed them who work hard. 

One sister expressed feeling sorry for her husband who works hard till dawn, regretting she hasn't taken care of him well.
On that day, however, a missionary gave us a homework to do. 

That is, husband and wife wash their feet each other and youths and students wash their parents’ feet and then bring their pictures for confirmation.

Hearing this, everyone had a big smile on his/her face.

I just kept laughing because it should be a kind of embarrassing.  

However, everyone seemed to be so interested in it with the fact that they were supposed to get some gifts when making some pictures for confirmation. 

I myself also decided to take a picture of it but when I got home, I just dozed off and couldn't do it.
Next day, female adults brought their pictures and I could find that everyone had such a bright smile on his/her face. 
They just washed their feet each other, which was quite simple and easy but huge happiness was found in them. Looking at the pictures, I also decided to do it for my husband myself. 

As my husband came back home, I urged him to hurry for it. In the beginning, he seemed kind of unhappy with the unexpected situation but then, he made a smile on his face soon. He even made some different poses in front of the camera.

He said he preferred his left side to be taken a picture, asking me to change the direction and take another picture. As I did whatever he said to me, he tried harder to make a pose and take a picture. 

Watching him doing that, I was so much happy. I don’t even remember how hard we laughed.
It was such a simple and trivial thing to wash feet each other, but it surely was a great gift and happiness to our family.  

I myself also made up my mind to take care of and love him all the more, washing his feet too.
God the Mother, I truly give sincere thanks to You for allowing me this great happiness and realization.

Asking first, whatever it is .Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother lead us to the way of salvation.




One month ago, I requested the city gas construction and it has been finally completed through three times of work.  When boiler engineers were doing their last work, I thought it was a little earlier than the lunch time. 
However, they looked a bit hungry, so I decided to cook noodles.  The problem was that I did it without asking them if they would like to eat it. Seeming difficult to answer, they just refused the food, because they thought it might be helpful to eat their proper lunch.  
Finding no other alternatives, I had to go ask a new bride on the second floor to have noodles together.  Yet, she said she had to get some sleep because she just returned home after working night shift.   
Then, I put the noodles into the plate and went straight to next door, the supermarket but the owner also said she was supposed to have lunch with her daughter.  
Finally, I visited the owner of the stationary shop with the food but she also refused it, saying she never eats noodles at all.


I felt even absurd in the fact that my thought was totally wrong.  I just thought everyone would love to eat it too since I myself love any kinds of flour based foods like noodles. Eating that overcooked noodles, I became deeply sit on brood. 

Rather than doing my own way, I have decided to put into action after taking a look at the opinion of the other party.  

After marriage, when I needed some soy sauce or bean paste for cooking, I used to go to the platform for crocks of sauces and condiments myself, thinking mother-in-law would have felt bothered at my questions one by one. 

Now I come to think of that time after many years, I could realize she must have liked sister-in-law who works asking her questions one by one.

So is it in God.  Rather than doing my own way and thoughts, we should ask God in detail about what we should do so everything goes smoothly without any problems. 

From now on, I would like to pray and ask for God, walking in the right path in belief that Heavenly Father Christ Ahnsahnghog and God the Mother would be pleased with.

I truly give all thanks and praise to Elohim God(Christ Ahnshanghong and God the Mother) for allowing me this wonderful realization.

Christ Ahnshanghong and God the Mother are waiting for our salvation.



When I was in elementary school, I always tried to memorize the multiplication tables after supper.
Day by day, I would go and on memorizing after school.

Finally, it was the day when I succeeded.
My parents were full of smiles, and I was really proud of myself.
Since I was a slow learner, being anxious, I would always complain to my parents.
My parents would then just smile and pat my shoulders.

Looking at my exam papers full of red marks just like a red shower, they would have been more anxious than me thinking, "What if my child is way behind others?"
But they would never push me to study, but waited until I did well by myself.
Thinking of how my parents in my childhood, I believe my parents' life was an “endless waiting.”

When I was in my mother's womb, they waited for me to be born for a time of 10 months.
Even when I first started to walk, when I first started to talk, they waited.
I would cry day and night and would have annoyed them, not wanting to be apart from them for even a moment.

Though I got sick frequently making them always feel anxious, all that they remembered about me was a cute little baby toddling and saying "mommy or daddy."
Though I was slow and lacking compared to other children, they would think it's their entire fault and felt sorry.

They would always take care of me as an apple of their eyes, fed me the best food, and always prayed for me to grow well.
Parents call this kind of love, "the elders' love for the young," or "parental love."
The source of this love comes from the continuous time of waiting, and from the infinite belief towards their child.

Our Heavenly Parents, who came down to this earth to find Their lost children...
Our Heavenly Parents' love is much more than that.

Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you! (Isa 49:15)”

Like how it says, Heavenly Mother willingly came with lowly clothes of a sinner.
Heavenly Parents' love is so deep that they would never give up though the children are slow to realize. Their children found in the long time of waiting, for 6,000 years.

They would always cover the children's sins, always give teachings full of love, guide them to the best ways, and always praise them even for their small efforts.

Though They would never have a day without worry or concern towards Their children, They would earnestly pray for them all night long, always firmly believing that their immature children would realize.

Through all this, they would forget Their safety.
Thinking about the heart of my Heavenly Parents, I look back, if I was truly a good daughter.

Though Heavenly Father, Christ Ahnshanghong and Heavenly Mother is pleased seeing Their children uniting with each other, rather embracing my brothers and sisters with love, didn't I push them away from me just because they were different from me?

Though Heavenly Father Christ Ahnshanghong and Heavenly Mother always waiting and endured, rather waiting for my brothers and sisters to realize, didn't I just gave up on them?

Thinking about my past, I can't lift up my head being so sorry and embarrassed to my Heavenly Parents.
Though I said I knew Their hearts, those were the days which I never really tried to put Their words into actions.

I truly thank Heavenly Father Christ Ahnshanhong and Heavenly Mother for loving me, and waiting for a long time for this weak child to realize.

From now on, I will love my brothers and sisters, even the parts they are lacking, understand, help them, and walk the way of the gospel work which God is pleased with.

Mother’s love everywhere[Christ Ahnshanghong and God the Mother]



On Sunday afternoon, I had some time left after preaching.   
Suddenly, ‘Roola’ brought to my mind.  She was a female youth whom I met and studied the Bible with last week, even though I couldn't see her again because of her tight schedule since then. 

Hoping to see her to give a brochure, I headed for the shopping mall where she works. 
I thought a short time should be enough to see her but the shopping mall was literally a sea of people.  I didn't even know how long it took to find the parking space.  

Various kinds of people were fully packed, gathering together with family and friends.

Normally, I used to see her from a distance and turned back, worrying if she could feel uncomfortable, since her coworker and boss were always at the store. 

 That day, however, Roola was the only one at the store for some reasons, despite it was a very busy day.  I sincerely gave thanks to Father and God the Mother.  

I passed on the brochure about the Passover and God the Mother to Roola, who felt sorry not to have contacted me because of her busy schedule.  We finally decided to meet again sometime and have a bible study together.

 I was going to come back to Zion but it was difficult to do that because there were many people gathered together, who should hear of the good news about Heavenly Father and God the Mother.  

So, I decided to take a few minutes to preach the words of God and then leave.  Now that people seemed to be free afternoon, there were many people who listened to preaching. 

Meanwhile, one female youth started to speak after watching UCC about the Spirit and the Bride.



“Oh, I know this.  It is about God Mother, isn't it?”
“Do you know Her?”
“Yes, God the Mother.  I have heard about it.”

Her name was Christy and she said she has heard about God the Mother when she used to go to a University from 2 hours distance.  

Moving in after graduating school, she lost contact with people who used to deliver the words of God to her but now, she could hear the truth about God the Mother once again. 

In the United States of America consisting of 50 states, it has large land and countless people enough to say there are 50 different countries gathered. 

 I was so glad to meet someone who has heard of the truth in this far place.  
While preaching to others after exchanging contact numbers and saying hi to her, I could meet a female youth, ‘Christine’.  

However, this youth clearly remember God the Mother even though she said she couldn't study the Bible that much. 

 I strongly felt she must be the one Heavenly Mother is anxiously searching for. 
 That way, I was given a mission to deliver the water of life to souls who have the seeds of words in hearts, which were scattered through Mother’s love.  

At that moment, I could feel how much love Mother has toward even one single soul despite he/she does not realize the truth at all.  Mother does not give up on him/her and rather with full of care and efforts, She keeps sending the messengers so he/she could hear the truth again.

Under the love and sacrifice of Mother who never gives up one single soul, the gospel continues to be spread around the whole world.  Now I could see what the gospel is about with Mother’s heart and mind.  

That day, Mother awoke me, who used to preach the words of God from a sense of duty at some point. 

I give thanks to God who allows this sinful child to step outside today and participate in the gospel of Mother’s love

Because She is Our Mother[Christ Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother]



For a while it seemed like the cold weather was over, but it was cold again.

Because of this genial weather, my second son constantly took off his coat for few days.

At last, he started to cough and had fever.

I continuously told him to wear his coat, but he wouldn't just listen.

After supper, I gave him some medicine and tucked him to bed early.

Our whole family happened to sleep early that day, and I also fell asleep being exhausted.

How much did I sleep?

I heard my child moaning silently in his room.

Instinctively, I got up and went for my child.

My child was calling me with high fever.

On the other hand, my eldest son in the other room was peacefully asleep.

Surely I am a heavy sleeper. I didn't know how I heard that small sound, that very fainting voice...

I thought it was fortunate that I heard it.

As I laid a cold towel on his forehead, I was moved to tears.

"This is the reason why our Heavenly Mother came for us!"

Is there any other reason needed for our Mother to come to this world, other than for Her children dying in pain?

It is I, who always make mistakes, and it is our Mother, who bears all the costs.

However, She never leaves me but stays close by my side.


Since I am a person who would never wake up even when it thundered, I could surely realize Mother's love through my second child.

Though I also had fever and had a flu, because I am a mother, I first worry about my child.

Because Heavenly Mother is with me, I believe I can overcome all kinds of illness that this world may give.

36.5 Degrees is the Secret of Love[Christ Ahnsahnghong, God the Mother]



I always wondered why a normal body temperature was 36.5 degrees.

I got that answer yesterday through a fragrance.

Why is the body temperature 36.5 degrees?

Answer: God created men with that temperature for them to love each other for 365 days.

Hearing that fragrance, my heart was warmly touched.

I could feel that Heavenly Mother loves us so much, that She had given each one of us, this true message of love.

On the other hand, my heart ached, thinking that our sins are too heavy that we have to love each other without rest, for 365 days.

One of the brothers in Zion said to me,

"If your hands are so cold, though you place your hands near a heater or inside your blanket, 

it’s not easy for them to get warm again. But if you hold someone's warm hands, it thaws quickly."


Just by thinking of Her warm heart embracing us, my heart becomes warm with joy.

Holding our brothers’ and sisters’ hands warmly beforehand…

I believe a warm cozy hug is the start of sharing Mother's love.

When the body temperature rises one degree from 36.5 degrees, 

you will have fever and a headache.

On the other way, when the temperature lowers one degree below 36.5 degrees, 

you may risk yourself with hypothermia.

All of a sudden, I began to realize...

The true meaning of 36.5 degrees is Heavenly Father's(Christ Ahnshanghong)  earnest request to not forget Heavenly Mother's devoted love; not even a day out of 365 days.

I surely must not forget God's message that was engraved in my heart with God's love.

Mother's Heart [Christ Ahnshanghong and God the Mother]


Mother's Heart


When I arrived home, I noticed a scar on my second child’s face.
I got really upset seeing that scar, on no other place but on his face.
Though I asked him where he got that scar, he said it was just a scratch he got from a bookshelf.
Of course, I couldn't believe what he was saying, because it didn't look like a scratch at all.
My child couldn't lie in front of me, since I raised him strictly.
When he happens to lie, he surely gets caught.
He couldn't seem to look into my eyes, which made me doubt that he was telling the truth.
Later, I could hear the whole story.
He got into a fight with his elder brother, and eventually got a scar.
Though at times they had arguments, what made me furious was because it was the first time to see an actual scar.
I couldn't stand what they have committed, so I grounded them.
Though they cried, that they didn't mean to actually hurt each other, I couldn't possibly just get over with what they have committed.
I was just angry that they have actually hurt each other, when there were no other siblings than themselves.
Though many days passed, I was still upset seeing the scar on my second child's face.
But seeing my second child carefully putting medicine on my first child's face, it really made me laugh.
Through this, I could realize how hurt our Heavenly Mother must be when She sees Her children not being able to get along with each other, and being all sulky without knowing how to consider or to understand.
How painful would our Heavenly Father Christ Ahnshanghong  and Heavenly Mother's hearts must be?

"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!"

Seeing my children, I could engrave God's words in my heart, of how God bestows life forevermore when brothers and sisters live together in unity.
It is truly a difficult task for the people with different personalities and understandings to unite.
That is why it must be a great blessing when that is accomplished.
I earnestly long to meet Heavenly Father,Christ Ahnshanghong when all of our brothers and sisters are covering each others' scars, and are united with continuous smiles and laughter.
I give all thanks to our Heavenly Father, Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother for allowing me this realization through my children.
With this realization, I want to become Their child who follows Them, by serving and considering all brothers and sisters in Zion.

A little assistant given by God the Mother and Christ Ahnsahnghong


A little assistant given by Mother



Mother

Why did You wear the clothes of a sinner

and come to this earth

for this sinful child full of faults?

Mother

For what are these sinners to You

that You give us love that is deep and broad like the sea,

and give us the courage

becoming the resting place for our souls?

Oh, Mother

I earnestly shout to You

I love You

I thank You

I love You eternally


This is a poem written by my eldest daughter who is in the 5th grade, after the recent third day worship.


The sermon of that day was about ‘Mother’s love.’ I guess with a child’s mind she was touched, and when we got home, she wrote this poem with colorful pencils.


Reading this poem, I felt that a child’s love towards Mother is as deep as the grownups’.

My eldest child is my little gospel assistant.


She usually practices the teachings of Mother and greets people in a loud voice with a smile.

When the elders praise her, she smiles and says to me that God will also be happy about it.


She cannot work for the gospel since she is still young, but it was lovely seeing her efforts practicing the smallest things that she can afford.


She quickly wants to become a part of the student members so that she can bring friends to Zion, and tell them about God the Mother.


When I couldn't possibly stop home once in a while, she feeds her eight year old sister and takes her to the institute.


When I am exhausted with the hot weather, she plays the piano; the new song, for me.


didn't do anything for my child.


I am just thankful to God the Father, Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother, making my child to realize and practice the teachings of Mother by herself.


I also thank God for filling up my lacking areas through my child, and for giving our family such a great blessing.


I will repay for God the Father,
Christ Ahnshanghong and God the Mother’s grace by practicing the teachings of Mother with a thankful mind.


Mother thank You. I truly love You.
