Love that waits - Christ Ahnshanghong and God the Mother are waiting for us .



Church of God (Witness of Ahnsahnghong) believes Ahnsahnghong as our Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit with the belief in Heavenly Mother.  According to the Bible, God the Father and God the Mother who are the Spirit and the bride are to give us the water of life in this last age of the Holy Spirit.  In order to receive the water of life in this age, we should come toward God the Father and God the Mother. 



Taking care of toddlers, I severely scold them whenever they make mistakes.

My heart hurts, but I decided that it is for the child’s own good to point out their faults.

However, rather than scolding them all the time, I found out that when I embrace them, the children seemed to change.

Scolding may change a person that moment, but it doesn’t last long.

Though love does not change a person right away, as time passes by, that person realizes, and that realization stays touched in his heart. I think that eventually changes that person.

While walking on the gospel road, there are cases when we have different thoughts from each other, and things don’t turn out as the way we want to.

Whenever that happens, it makes me concerned.

Is it helpful to tell the brother or sister about their mistakes, or is it better to just wait restraining myself?

Both seem to be right, but I find myself brooding which one is right.

The answer was in Mother’s love; what I’ve seen, heard and felt.

Whenever I made mistakes, Mother never told my faults.

She waited until I realized by myself, and hid and embraced my faults.

As time passed by, and when I lately realized my faults, Mother’s love came to me, moving me.

That love gave me strength, for me to put on effort to change myself.

Though every moment, I try to resemble Mother’s heart, when I face difficult situation, it doesn’t turn out what I thought to be.

This is the evidence that I haven’t change into love yet.

Now, carrying emotionally surging Mother’s love, 

I also will become the child who shares that kind of love.

Mother's Heart

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 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 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 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.

My mom is the best!

My mom is the best!

My 10-year old son is affectionate especially to me, his mom. With sincerity, he says I am more beautiful than any other pretty entertainers on TV, which makes me feel good.
“My mom is the most beautiful.” “Can I marry you when I am grown-up?” “You are perfectly slim.”
Hearing his absurd and non-sense comment, I laugh away myself gigglingly but I don’t feel bad though. One day when it rained on and off, he was about go to the institute and I got him an umbrella in his hand. “Sweetheart, be sure to wear umbrella when it rains.” “ OK, mom. See you later. Oh, my friends! Mom, I’m leaving. Hey, let’s go together.” He is running after his friends, bouncing like a spring.
Grown-up as an only child without siblings, he loves friends so much that he readily gives his newly toys away. This son, however seemed to have given a slap on the head of his friend with umbrella and run away before getting out of the street entry. “oh, no.. what is he doing?”
Although I got worried, I couldn't just go and ask at once, but only had to wait for him to come back. Returning from the institute, he seemed to be very happy and bright as usual, as if nothing really happened at all.
“Sweetheart, why did you hit your friend with an umbrella and run away? It is not a thing to hit others but to use when it rains. Why did you do that?” “Mom, he said my mom looks ugly. You are the most beautiful, aren't you?
I was just floored but then felt kind of dwarfed at that moment  The reason was that Heavenly Mother suddenly flashed in my mind. Then I got to look back on myself in the past. Questioning myself how much I have felt proud of Heavenly Mother, I had no choice but to feel sorry and even shame because I have always been admitting myself children of Mother.  Even though I know I am such a prodigal sinner, I used to hold my righteous indignation and oppose to those who slander the truth and even Heavenly Mother.
 
I truly give all thanks and praise to Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother for allowing me to reflect upon myself as well as my mind toward Heavenly Mother through my boy having a purse heart toward his mom

Asking first, whatever it is

Asking first, whatever it is
 
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 and Heavenly Father would be pleased with.
 
I truly give all thanks and praise to Elohim God for allowing me this wonderful realization.

Love is “Waiting”

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 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 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 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.

God the Mother is the best medicine

A few days ago, son lied to me but was sharply scolded when the truth got out.  He started to lie at the age 12 because he got scared of his mom and dad since then.  At his confess, my heart ached so much and I tried to hug and love him a lot, hoping to fix his bad habits.
 
One day, he wanted to sleep with me and dad because he felt scary being alone in his room.  Then, my husband bellowed at me, blaming that I am raising him just like a baby.
 
“It’s going to be emotionally tough and scared at his age.  We’d better cover his mistakes and keep him warm to ride out this situation.”
 
Finally, he agreed with me and since then, our couple has tried to have a conversation with him as much as possible before the bed time.  As the day got colder, the room became warmer than the living room so we decided to sleep in the living room.
 
All of us could have a nice talk together every day, lying side by side on the floor.  Listening to the new song, I embraced his face and asked him lying next to me.
 
From now on, let us stop bad behaviors like lie and continue to please Heavenly Father and God the Mother by loving all the more with mom and dad.”
This boy grown up so quickly enough to wear the same size of his dad answered, “Ok” and then threw himself into my arms.  Being with him, God the Mother suddenly came into my mind.
 
Now I think I know why She came down to this earth and is grabbing each hand of every child to give Her unconditional love, without rejecting all pains and sorrows.
 
The best medicine to cure all disease of our sins should be very “You- God the Mother.”

An Immature Son

Though my family didn't have our cakes baked, we had enough to live.
My parents bought mostly everything that I needed.
Entering 6th grade, I told them that I wanted to attend a supplementary educational institute for my grades.
They allowed me, thinking that I was commendable.
When it was time for me to graduate junior high school, my father said:
 
"I'm sorry son, but we're bad off. I don't think we can support you with the institute.
How about making a habit of studying by yourself?"
 
By that time, I had decent grades with the help of the institute.
I just couldn't stand that I couldn't attend the institute no more.
Though I kept on asking him if I could attend the institute, he just kept on apologizing.
Because things didn't go on my way, I left an unhealable scar on my father's heart.
 
"Dad, how come you can't even send me to an institute? My friends attend many institutes.
I wish I was born in a rich house, why was I born in this house?"
 
I could vividly remember what he said to me.
 
"I didn't do much for you, did I? Well, I did my best for you son... I tried my best to give everything what you surely needed. I'm sorry that I couldn't let you have more, more than I have given."
 

And it's now that I realize that he wanted me to stop attending the institute for a long time.

I remember him passing remarks like, "How about not going to the institute?" or "How about studying by yourself?"

He tried all he could to support my institute’s fee.

It is when I entered high school that he just couldn't possibly support.

He could have said to stop attending the institute from the very beginning, but he couldn't because I had too much desire.

And after bearing many years, he had no choice to tell me that he couldn't support.

 

Even today, I feel sorry for my father who kept on apologizing.

My father did let me have all that I needed.

There were things that I didn't necessarily needed, but he tried his best to let me have them all.

Though I could receive everything without any effort, I wasn't thankful at all.

I just grumbled that I couldn't have more.

I even had an arrogant thought that it was reasonable that parents had to feed their children's mouth.

Through my childhood memory, God allowed me to see how arrogant I was in heaven, and showed it to me as a shadow, of how much I hurt my Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother's heart.

Just how I didn't thank my parents on this earth, I feel embarrassed that I didn't thank my Heavenly Parents’ love and grace.

I don't want to commit the same mistake.

From now on, I want to become a child who can give overflowing thanks and joy to our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother.

Words that I really wanted to tell

My parents had me quite late in their age.


That is why I was embarrassed with them since they were far older than my friends' parents.


Being shameful, I did hurt my parents'hearts many times with harsh words.


I wonder how hurt their hearts would have been with an immature daughter.


Despite of all that, my parents had been through all hardships to send me and my sister to college in narrow circumstances.


Since my father only graduated elementary school, and my mother graduated junior high, they said that they had nothing else but their children.


They always told us to study diligently and not to get into hot water.


Though they didn't want us to worry about money like other ordinary children, they secretly wiped their tears for not being able to make us grow well-off.


As I and my younger sister grew up, my mother did all sorts of work; like working in the fields.


And my father went abroad, to Chile,Russia, Laos, and many other countries, with his skill of making charcoals.


He stayed there shortly for one month, in long-term for many months, and returned home with his income.


While making charcoals, because of the massive heat and light, his skin was darkly burnt.


When there were times when he had serious accidents, we all had our hearts in our mouths.


He said he had difficult times in Russia because of the severe cold weather.


Feeling sorry to see my parents enduring all hardships, I even thought it was better for me to give up my studies and get a job.


But I thought the best way to be filial to them is being diligent with my studies.


With their extreme love, I am now expecting my graduation.


Now that my parents are old, they quit working, and there are no parts of them that's left unscathed.


Nevertheless, they are the ones who worry about me, telling me to stop worrying about them, to take care of myself, and not to skip any meals.


Whenever they say those words, I burst into tears.


Though they are enduring more pain and sufferings, they are always worrying about their children.


How much would our Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother be worrying about Their children?


For me, it is unimaginable.


These days, thinking about my physical parents and Heavenly Father and Mother, I cry like a baby.


Sometimes I move to tears by just hearing the words; "Father," or "Mother."


To my physical parents, I truly want to tell them that I am really thankful to them for raising me up well in difficult situations, and I want to tell them that I love them.


 And to my heavenly parents...


Heavenly Father, thank you for finding your children throughout the most painful situation.


Heavenly Mother, thank you for praying and for living a life with your children without a moment of rest.


These are truly the words that I wanted to tell You all.
