TRANSCRIPT

AVOID THE DRAINING OF COMPLAINING

What was the fall? [The archangel] compared himself to everyone from a self-centred viewpoint; this led to complaint. Complaint led to rebellion. Therefore complaint is not permissible for believers… To complain is essentially to attack God.

Father Moon, 11 September 1972

Be not like those who honour their gods in prosperity and curse them in adversity. In pleasure or pain, give thanks!

Mekhilta to Exodus 20:20

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

With what do we need to endure? A thankful spirit! Without a thankful spirit, we cannot endure. And even if we do endure, if we do not have a thankful heart, God cannot be with us. Father Moon, 4 May 1971

THE CURE FOR COMPLAINING IS GRATITUDE
