(One) Choi Su-jeong / South Korea
I have a close friend whom I consider like family, but at some point, I began arriving late to our appointments. One day, I overslept and missed meeting her entirely. She became upset and asked why I was always late. I deeply regretted it later afterward and reflected on my thoughtlessness. Spiritually, I resolve not to be deceived by familiarity and take God's love for granted, but to remain humble and always grateful.
(Two) Park Jeong-seon / South Korea
I felt deep remorse remembering the times when I neglected to study before delivering the words of God, thinking “I already know this well.” From now on, I will prepare diligently so that I can convey each word sincerely, with the heart of Mother, for the salvation of souls.
(Three) Yang Sun-myeong / South Korea
I, too, have been in similar situations, just as described in this story. If we mistake familiarity for “closeness” or “comfort” and end up hurting someone at home or in Zion, even without ill intent, it cannot be justified. I must reflect on whether I have acted rudely or disrupted order and strive to be more self-disciplined. Familiarity is not something to be taken for granted; it is built upon the unseen sacrifices, thoughtfulness, and love of those around us.
