   See, what's the story is trying to tell us, brothers and sisters? Too many people get stuck in life. They get stuck at a certain level of success, work hard, study hard, do their best. But we have to realize that God is asking us to not only be successful in our own lives but also to help another person succeed. He's strategically sending people into our lives, chosen people, that you have to help in order for you to get to the next level, in order for you to rise up to the next level.

Welcoming Remarks:

Yeon Ah Nim:

Good afternoon brothers and sisters! (Good afternoon!). Outside it is a little bit hot, but we still believe that today is a beautiful day to celebrate True Parents and Heavenly Father. Do you believe that? (Yes!)

We are always honored to have you here in this sanctuary, and for those who are joining us via internet, we are welcoming you as well. Welcome brothers and welcome sisters!

Hyung Jin Nim:

Welcome brothers and sisters! I want to share something from Cheon Seong Gyeong, page 629, today. Father says, "What does the Scripture about loving the Lord, your God, with all your heart, soul and with all your mind mean? The center of everything is love, so when you do nothing but concentrates all your functions and consciousness on loving the Lord your God, you will go straight up to the vertical realm, taking the elevator. It is a wondrous world."
 
I love that! You know I love how Father talks about loving the Lord your God, and how he talks about concentrating our minds and bodies, that is to say that when we practice the act of love, it is not only an emotional feeling. It is an act, it's a verb. It's something that requires concentration and focus, something to channel to the object that we're sending it towards.

   But don't just stop there. In our lives let us speak these words of faith (also) into somebody else, let us encourage others, give them hope in their future. Make them  believe, "Hey! There is a way! I may not see it now, but there will be a way." If we can speak those words of faith  to others, if we can help somebody to get a new view of his/her life, then we will truly be living the blessed life. We won't only be blessed in our own lives, we will be blessings unto others. We will be blessed blessings in this world.

Yeon Ah Nim:

 Good afternoon brothers and sisters! ("Good afternoon", "Thank you")

We are always happy and honored to have you all here, especially since it's been two weeks since we last saw all of you guys.

 As you know, we had Hyo Jin Nim's memorial service in Japan and 6,000 Japanese members came and did a big memorial service for Hyo Jin Nim. That's why we could not come here, and so we are apologizing once again about that, and we are also welcoming you, members who are joining with us via internet. We are welcoming you all. Thank you.
