How much do we worry?

This is taken from a testimony from someone who had a spiritual experience where she was in the crowd at the time of Jesus’ crucifixion.

Then I asked him how he felt at that very moment, when he was being nailed to the cross. The answer came back, an answer that I would never ever think about. He said, ‘I was worried for Heavenly Father’.
We don't need to be Messiah or Christ to worry for Heavenly Father.

Leaders set new records

From the speech "Perfection and Gratitude" given by True Father on October 3, 1976 in Belvedere, New York, in the first paragraph of the section titled "A leader can only be approved by heaven if he pushes himself the hardest".

Would you prefer to listen to the word of God, even before my word? My hope is that you will reach out to God. My desire is for you to sincerely want to fulfill some direct instruction from God that even I cannot do.
I believe True Father doesn't want us to be limited. Not only about our own limitations, but also not be limited by his. We are being encouraged to do things that even he cannot do.

Keeping up to the mark

During a recent HDH time, an elder Mrs. Park gave a testimony. In it, she mentioned "I left him [her church minister] realizing that I had nothing more to learn from this minister."

As a minister, teacher, leader or parent, and etc. we need to keep up to the mark so as to accomplish tasks that these roles are expected to fulfill. This is very basic in the commercial world. Although it might not be so ruthless in ministry and family contexts than in the commercial world, the expectation, especially self-expectation should rightfully be there. Otherwise, the congregation, students, subordinates, or children might be stuck in a stagnant state, because not many people are as lucky as Mrs. Park to have found another better path.
