I
Over the trees, climbing the peaceful moon. As my beloved, fair and beautiful.
O my love, where are You? Now I am in tears. Do You hear me cry?
You are the One who gives me love. You are the One who cares about me.
You are the One who thinks of me always. You are the One who cherishes my life.
Moon, back to the other side of sky. Don’t make my beloved wait too long.
Please tell Him that I miss Him. Don’t forget to carry along with my love, along with my love.
II
Wild geese in pairs, flying far away. Will they bring back word from my beloved?
O please, please lend me your wings. I can fly back to my warm hometown.
I will repay the concern of my beloved. I want to tell Him: Don’t be sad!
I will give You the answer You’re pleased with. So the efforts You paid will not be in vain.
How I wish I could soon be grown up, to be free from the wandering, painful life.
O my love, please wait for me. I’ll fly away from the luxury of this world.
I will repay the concern of my beloved. I want to tell Him: Don’t be sad!
I will give You the answer You’re pleased with. So the efforts You paid will not be in vain.
So the efforts You paid will not be in vain.
from Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs
Almighty God says: "Look, being honest is beloved by God. When we put being honest into practice, we also have the life of being honest, and the reality and substance of being honest—and thus we have the practice of being honest, and the manifestation of being honest. At the very least, the side of us that is honest is beloved by God and approved of by God. Yet we still have many areas in which we are not honest, and we need to keep changing and pursuing—God is waiting for us, and giving us opportunities. If we never plan to be honest, and never seek how to be honest, or search for what actions and words are the manifestation of being honest, then we will never have the substance of being honest, and could not possibly have the life of being honest. Whatever kind of reality you have is the stature you have, and the aspect of the truth that you are equipped with. If you don’t have such a reality, then you do not have such a life or stature. And so, when you encounter trials or tests, or a commission, if you are devoid of reality, when these things happen to you it will be easy for you to fall, to make mistakes, to sin against God, and to rebel against God—all of which will be out of your control. Ultimately, some people will be eliminated, the Holy Spirit will abandon them and cease to work in them, and there will even be those who, having caused great damage to the house of God, will end up being expelled. This is an inevitable outcome. But if, today, you put the truth into practice and are honest, who can take away the part of you that is honest? No one can, no one can strip you of this aspect of reality and this life. And if, sometime in the future, you say: “I’ve been honest for a long, long time, could I revert to someone who is deceitful?” it likely won’t happen easily, for you already live in God’s light, and live in the way of the light. It’s not easy to change from someone who is deceitful to someone who is honest. Changing back from a genuinely honest person beloved by God—that’s neither likely nor easy. Some people say: “I’ve been putting being honest into practice for some time. Most of the time I am able to speak honest words, and I am relatively honest, but sometimes I reveal my deceitful disposition, I expose my deceitful substance.” This needs to be gradually solved later. As long as you pursue, and work hard and achieve entry in this regard, then you don’t have to worry about what you’ll be like in the future. When planting seedlings in the ground, if you water them and give them sunlight every day, you don’t need to worry about whether they’ll bear fruit; come autumn, there’ll surely be something to harvest. Today, what concerns us most should be whether we are already putting being honest into practice, and whether we partake in this reality. If you say, “I know that I’m deceitful, but I’ve never put being honest into practice,” then you don’t have any of the reality of being honest, and you still must work hard: Every little detail of your life, every way that you act in your life, the way you have always acted, your frequent means of practice, and how you act toward people—you must hold them all up for dissection. If you don’t dissect them, you’ll still be conceited, and will still be satisfied with how you are doing things—but when you dissect them, you’ll be astonished: Oh, it turns out the me in my imagination is so low, so malicious, so insidious! You’ll be amazed; you’ll discover your true self, and you will truly know your own troubles and faults, and your own deceitfulness. And if you don’t dissect? You will always believe yourself to be honest, and someone who is without deceitfulness. Your mouth will say you’re deceitful, but in your heart you will still believe yourself to be honest. In that case, you’ll never change. If you don’t dissect yourself, how could you know yourself? If you don’t dissect yourself, how can you lay yourself bare? How can you dig out the things and motivations in the depths of your heart? And if you don’t dig them out, how can you change? If you don’t dig them out, you’ll be ignorant of which direction to practice in, and what to aim for in your practice. This is precisely the real meaning of the words “If you don’t enter into the reality, you will forever be without the reality of the truth.”
