Only Bright Smile Must Appear on Mother’s Face - World Mission Society Church of God



When the mother and the child were passing by a candy shop, the child started pestering,
“Mummy, I want candy. Candy!!”
“No. Since mommy’s got no money, I’ll get you next time.”
“Candy!! Candy!!”
Without concerning her words, the child kept on insisting.
The mother’s face hardened.
Once the child pestered, she wouldn’t stop.
“Mommy said, I got no money! Stop pestering!”
“Waahhh!!!”
The child sadly cried after getting a spank on her butt.
Sensing her mother, the child stopped crying.
Though the child stopped crying, the mother started to cry..
“Mummy. Don’t cry…”
The child wiped the mother’s tears with her hands and cuddled in her mother’s arms.
After few days, the mother and the child passed by a toy shop.
Feeling sorry for the last time, the mother asked the child.
“Have anything you want me to buy for you?”
“No Mummy. After you’ve got a lot of money you can buy me one!”
Considering the child’s age, she should have behaved like a child.
But the child already became mature, which made the mother feel bad.
After that very day, the child never asked her mother to buy something for her.
Not even once…
Though I can barely remember that incident, my mother always wipes her tears whenever she tells me about that day.
During hard times, I can imagine how heartbroken she must have been not being able to buy even a candy or a small toy for me.
Though ten years have passed, she must have regretted so much because she moves into tears whenever she talks about that day.
The painful memory engraved in my mother’s heart makes my heart feel bitter.
Mother, don’t cry no more.
I am a happy person who grew up with your love, and that love retains in my heart.
I earnestly hope that only bright smile can appear on your face.”

Child’s Pain - World Mission Society Church of God


I believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother.

I received a call from my child’s school that she hurt her finger.
I got that call during my doctor’s appointment.
As soon as I hung up, I postponed my appointment and frantically ran to her school.
Worrying about my child, I forgot how sick I was.
Before even asking how my child was, I hugged her and cried.
While getting her finger treated, she was in so much pain that she trembled her whole body and grabbed my hand tightly.
It was heart-rending.
I wish I could be hurt instead of her, because it wasn’t easy for me to see my child in pain.
After I was relieved when her treatment was finished, I noticed that my whole body was all in sweat, and my face was covered with tears.
Wiping my trace of tears, I thought of my Heavenly Mother.
When I was in pain, Heavenly Mother must have felt much more pain than the pain that I had to go through.
I earnestly give thanks for Her infinite love.

Then you will look and be radiant

 
 
 
 
 
 
Many Christians often say they preach the gospel.  However, the core of the heavenly gospel that Jesus came to this earth and sent Himself is very the Passover.  Church of God delivers the same teachings as the early church.  Please come to Church of God and keep the Passover. (Matt.26:17)
 
Church of God (Witness of Ahnsahnghong) believes Ahnsahnghong as our Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit with the belief in Heavenly Mother.  According to the Bible, God the Father and God the Mother who are the Spirit and the bride are to give us the water of life in this last age of the Holy Spirit.  In order to receive the water of life in this age, we should come toward God the Father and God the Mother. 
 
Please come to Church of God (witness of Ahnsahnghong) that believes Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother, the Spirit and the bride to get the eternal life and the salvation through the Passover the New Covenant.
 
 
This is a story about a senior sister in Zion.
Though she has children who are in the truth, she had to go through many troubles because of another son who occasioned her much anxiety.
When she couldn’t hear from him when he left the house, she shed so much tears waiting for him to return.
She even got sick, and day after day she got emaciated.
Whenever I visited her, I would feel so bad, that I really wanted to find her son for her.
One day, I stopped by her house in a long time.
With my surprise, she looked great and even looked gorgeous.
Her son finally returned after two years.
Not only filial children, but also disheartening children must live together as a family.
She must have been so anxious without knowing if her son was dead or alive.
Though I’ve never experienced the pain of being apart from my own child, just by looking at her really hurt my heart.
For a long time she had been heartbroken, and now that she has met him, she looked so radiant. Seeing her, I realized parents and children are one body, and an inextricable relationship.
“(Isaiah60:5) Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy…”
Since I didn’t know how it was like to “look and be radiant,” God made me realize through my senior sister.
Waiting around on the outskirts of a village, Heavenly Mother anxiously waits for Her children to return.
I want to find my lost brothers and sisters and make them repent, so that I can make Heavenly Mother “look and be radiant.”

Father's Voice

 
 
 








 
 
 


 
 
Church of God (Witness of Ahnsahnghong) believes Ahnsahnghong as our Savior in the age of the Holy Spirit with the belief in Heavenly Mother.  According to the Bible, God the Father and God the Mother who are the Spirit and the bride are to give us the water of life in this last age of the Holy Spirit.  In order to receive the water of life in this age, we should come toward God the Father and God the Mother. 
 
 
"Angie!"
As usual, I threw my bag in my house and went to Angela's house.
Angela lives next door and we were friends since five.
Since both of my parents worked, I often stayed in her house, did homework, and played together.
Her house was really different from mine
Angela had her own bedroom, lots of books, and even had movies that we didn't have.
These are the reasons why I went to Angela’s house on a daily basis.
Staying there, I always imagined that her house was mine.
“What do you want to play today?”
After finishing up our homework, we pondered.
We finally made a decision to play with paper dolls.
Drawing beautiful princesses, we cut it out and started to play.
While we were playing for quite a while, Angela’s mom came and said,
“Angie, dinner’s ready.”
“Mommy… I’m not hungry. Can’t we play some more?”
“No! It’s already six. It’s time for dinner.”
Hearing that, I saw the clock’s hand pointing at 6.
“Jenny, let’s play some more.”
“But I also need to go for dinner.”
“You can eat with me. Mom, let Jenny join us.”
“Yeah, Jenny. Let’s have dinner together.”
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy, chocolate puddings… All of my favorite food were set on the table which made me salivate.
“Wow! Looks so good!”
“Eat up.”
Angela’s mother placed a big chunk of meatloaf on my plate.
When I just started to gulp in…
“Jenny! Jenny! Dinner’s ready!”
I thought I heard my father’s voice.
Though it was a faint voice, no other person but I could surely realize whose voice it was.
My father kept on calling me.
‘If I go home, we will only have baked beans. I’ll just finish it up quickly.’
I tried my best to avoid his voice.
It was when I almost finished my plate.
“Mrs. Wybrants?”
It was my father.
“Oh, coming!”
Angela’s mother quickly went out.
“Is Jenny here? It’s time for dinner, but she wouldn’t show up…”
“Oh, I’m sorry. I should have let her go early. Jenny, your dad’s here!”
Poutingly, I went…
“Dad! You didn’t have to come for me.”
“You were late for dinner. Since you didn’t answer, I came for you.”
“But I already had dinner here.”
“Really? I didn’t know. Thank you Mrs. Wybrants.”
When we got home, I saw that the food was still set on table.
“Dad, you didn’t have dinner yet?”
“How could I? You didn’t come home. I waited for you.”
As usual, there were only baked beans on the table.
“I’m stuffed.”
“Ok.”
My father finally had his cold beans for dinner.
In my childhood, I wasn’t concern of my father who couldn’t eat because of me.
I only considered myself, having delicious food, and neglected his voice.
Why was I so immature? Thinking back in the old days, I feel so sorry.
Likewise, I think my soul is committing the same mistake.
“Come back my child!”
Didn’t I avoid Heavenly Father’s earnest voice?
Wasn’t I only chasing after my joy?
I now want to be the child who considers His voice and a child who can give Him joy.

Father’s Gift


 
 
 
Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother will lead us the kingdom of heaven.
 
 
I happen to pass by a pre-school on my way home from work.
I saw a couple who worked together for living, picking up their son.  
The father was holding the son in his arms, and the mother was holding a grocery bag full of goods.
Seeing them going home, the family looked so happy.
“Sweetie, your dad got you a nice toy gun. You will be surprised!” said the father.
I don’t know if the son understood what he was saying, because he didn’t say nothing at all.
Well, in fact, the son was too young to understand.
Nevertheless, the father kept on talking to his son, and he was more excited than his son who got a toy gun.
Seeing them I thought,
‘Heavenly Father must be preparing with startling gifts to surprise us.’
Though we are small and cannot see, hear, or even imagine what he has prepared, Father must be eagerly waiting for that day when we would be in joy seeing those gifts.
I give earnest thanks for His very noble and pure love that I can never fully repay.

Mom's holiday

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
When I was three, my dad's sudden death led my mom to the workplace.
She worked in a mart where she bended over and trimmed and packed vegetables.
Working for ten hours a day, she only had ten days off in a year.
Even when she had her day off, she didn't rest.
She woke up early as usual, did the laundry, cleaned the house, organized clothes, and all the housework without any rest.
"Mom, can't you sleep in on your day off?"
Feeling all grouchy, I would complain to her.
Without saying a word she would finish up her work, and during the afternoon, she would prepare some snacks that she usually couldn’t make because she was busy.
Forgetting about how we complained; that we had to wake up so early, she was just pleased to see us munching in the snacks.
Though she could have rested for at least a day, she wouldn’t use any of her day for herself.
Her four daughters grew up like that.
Thinking about those times, my face becomes red and get all choked up.
Since the day of creation and until now, Heavenly Mother is still working without rest, not even resting a day.
Oh, Heavenly Mother…
Where is the end of Your sacrifice?
I now want to give Mother a comfortable time of rest.
I want to give joy to Mother with what I can do; bearing ten talents.

Throwing Away My Prodigal Self


 
 
 
Let us believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly mother who established World Mission Society Church of God(WMSCOG).
 
My mother-in-law has five sons.
The fourth son who was bright and promising was missing for few years.
Every day she cried all night without knowing if he was still alive.
For several times, she looked distrait in front of the house, as she stood there until the sun went down.
After we have tracked his number, we could reach him, but he wasn’t the person that he used to be.
It was heartbreaking seeing him completely dejected, all tinged with awful parts of this world.
Despite of how he had changed, my mother-in-law was so relieved that he came back alive.
However, her son soon felt oppressed by the fettered environment, and so at times he secretly went out with his mother’s money and came back after consuming them all.
At least if he had felt how devastated his family would have been, he wouldn’t have hurt his mother’s heart severely.
Nevertheless, mother-in-law has pity for her son, and thinks that it’s all her fault.
Seeing my mother-in-law, it reminds me of Heavenly Mother.
Though I returned to Her arms because of Her earnest sacrifice and prayer, I quickly forget all about Her. When I see myself indulging in this world, complaining, my heart aches.
I don’t want to be a child that hurts Her heart anymore.
I now want to be a child that knows how to consider Her heart.

To Our Home, Heaven

 
 
World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) keep the New Covernant passover which was established by christ Ahnsahnghong and believe in God the Mother who is give us eternal life.
 
My husband’s job required to stay far apart from our house.
We are faithful family who needed to keep God’s commandments in those places that we dwelled.
Our small wish is for my husband’s job to be resolved so that we can all live together in one place.
Though being together once a month is now our daily life, we still don’t seem to be used to it.
As always, being together gives us joy and being apart hurts our hearts.
When my husband comes home nearly after a month, my children are delirious with joy.
Seeing them waiting in front of the bathroom door, until my husband finished taking a shower, it made me feel sad and a little bitter considering how much they must have missed him.
After I’ve set the table for dinner, we all sat down together, which was in a long time.
“Dad, have this.”
My children were busily placing the best food on to his plate.
“Thanks sweetie pies.”
His voice was trembling and eventually his eyes welled up.
At an instant, I burst into tears and couldn’t stop crying for a while.
It was not only because of how I longed and wished for my family to be together, but it was mostly because I thought I have felt Heavenly Mother’s heart.
In Heaven…
Heavenly Father, Heavenly Mother, and we, their children, were all in happiness and joy every day.
Because of our sins, the joy in Heaven stopped, and we were scattered apart in this world.
Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother had to receive sacrifice instead of glory.
Thinking of Heavenly Mother who had to stay on this earth all alone when Father ascended, my heart hurt so much.
How much would Heavenly Mother be longing for the day when She returns to Heavenly Father with Her children?
How hard must it be for Her, on this very moment, when Her children are living apart from Her?
The only way to end this pain, suffering, hardship, and longing, is to return to our home; Heaven.
In Heaven, where we can all live together…
I will endure more, and will promptly accomplish Heavenly Father’s and Heavenly Mother’s wish, the wish that we all long for.

A Half of a Fingernail

 
 
Being clumsy with the kitchen knife, I had a day when I almost cut half of my finger nail preparing a meal.
My finger wouldn’t stop bleeding, so I quickly put gauze over it and tied it up with some rubber band. By the time I almost finished preparing the meal, my hand was burning and sore.
As my tears that I held back dropped down my eyes, someone flitted through my mind.
The One who saved me with His precious blood…
“My Father.”
With that thought, I engraved God’s unfathomable love in my heart.
Even cutting almost a half of my fingernail approaches me as a fear of pain.
Having His whole body full of blood, how much pain would He had felt?
The pain that I had removing the gauze that wouldn’t just come off easily that clung on the skin, cannot be compared to Father’s pain; taking off the robe forcefully that clung on His body all covered with blood.
The reason why He did not open His mouth when He was oppressed and afflicted,
The reason why He did not open His mouth like a lamb to the slaughter,
It is for my transgressions, my iniquities, and to bring me peace.
After I, myself have experienced and felt the pain, my heart burned realizing God’s love towards me.
The One who loved me until His whole body was all sore,
The One who loved me even enduring the mockery of His creation,
With what kind of word from this world can we describe Father’s greatness?
Not even once, but He had endured twice, of the stinging pain of His whole body.
How can we dare know the end of God’s love for the sinner?
For God’s love, that nothing can exceed, I give all thanks with my whole heart.

Thought I Could Just Become a Mother

We believe in Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother who established World Mission Society Church of God.
 
 
Just like the monsoon rain pouring during the hot summer, heart aching rain flows continuously in my heart.
My child is sick.
I cannot raise my head up, thinking that it’s all my fault.
I thought I could just become a mother.
I thought being a mother was the easiest task.
That’s why I always wanted to become a mother.
Delivering a beautiful baby, raising, and educating well just like others; were my hope.
But in reality, it wasn’t easy at all.
Mother’s life was her child’s shadow.
Even when I wanted to eat something, my child was first.
Even when I wanted to do something, my child was always next to me.
Though I wanted to have a day off, there was a pile of laundry.
And I always had to be my child’s friend.
Mother was just a mother…
Though there is an exhausting, tiresome, disregarding day, the mother needed to follow after the child like his shadow.
I was really a foolish mother.
I didn’t notice that my child was sad, when he was.
I didn’t notice that my child was hurt, when he was.
I just thought my child would grow up on his own.
But that was just my wrong idea.
My child is always anxious…
He thirsts for love, just like when he gulps water in thirst.
As I didn’t notice, that was my fault.
From now on, I would become a true mother.
From now on, I will plant the existence of his mother in my child’s heart, and show him hope.
And for his mother, today is the day to be born again.
And for her child, today is the day to be born again.
I look up in the skies…
It’s a beautiful cloudless autumn sky, and cool wind enters my heart.
They are all gifts given by our Heavenly Mother.
“Cheer up my child, everything’s going to be all right. Cheer up.”
“Yes, Mother.”
I shout, “Animo, animo!” aloud inside my heart.
Our Mother always first looks after the child who is sick.  
Our Mother always first embraces the child who is having the hardest time.
Out Mother always first embraces the most foolish child.
Just like how She did, I, a foolish mother, would also do likewise.
Just like how Mother looked after our hearts, I would now like to consider my child’s heart.
Thinking of Mother who is constantly praying in Her place, I would like to look after my child with Her heart.
I think of the day when my child and I am embracing in Her heart.
I thank Mother for sending my child for me, a foolish mother.
