We earnestly hope and desire that you will not let us become people who know heaven by having received the word

1

We earnestly hope and desire that you will not let us become people who know heaven by having received the word; rather, please let us become people who know heaven through our hearts. Please guide us to not become people who seek to be saved through the word, but rather people who are saved in the presence of our Father through our hearts and can sing songs of life. Then, we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will allow us to become people who can first see how much you have worked and suffered, and who can bow down our heads and comfort you.

If we have a goal in life, please let us pursue that goal of life through our hearts; and if we must have content in our daily lives, we earnestly hope and desire, Father, that you will let the content of our daily lives be your heart alone.

Since many people have come before you, Father, please let them find on their own, for whom they are staying here, for what they are working, and to what place they are heading. If there were a person who could be recognized by your saying, "You are a person who will stay with my heart forever," we know that there could be no one happier than that person.

Father! We know that you come to us with eternal life, with an eternal ideal,
and with a heart of eternal love; and what you are longing for are sons and daughters who can sing and enjoy being centered on the idea that we are not two but one, with your things being ours, and our things being yours, and you being together with us in our innermost hearts.

We too are looking forward to the arrival of a time in which we can attend you, and to be proud and rejoice throughout the whole world after having found and offered you all the elements of glory. Since you know all these things, Father, by connecting our minds and bodies, and by moving all the past things of heaven and earth, please transform all of them in the world of heart. And while earnestly hoping and desiring that you will let us be able to decide and determine ourselves in a state of joy and impact which can stimulate glory, we have humbly, prayed in the name of the Lord.

Amen.
