God Who Rejoices Over His Children

While reading one of the Truth Books written by Father, a particular passage from the Bible caught my eye:

The words that God rejoices over us with such joy and is quiet in His love deeply touched my heart. They reminded me of the saying that parents love their children unconditionally—not because their children have done anything remarkable, but simply because they are their children.

Because of our great sins, God came all the way to this earth, where sinners dwell, enduring unspeakable suffering and humiliation. Yet when He sees His children, stained by sin, returning to Zion, He cannot contain His joy. As I read Father's Truth Books, I can almost feel the warmth of his hands in every word he wrote, each one penned solely out of love for His children. Engraving that love on my heart, I want to remain in Zion to the very end and become a child who brings joy to Father and Mother.
