God Is a Parent Who Yearns for Love

God created us, so we were born with dreams related to God and an eager desire for the ideal world. Even in the most wretched of environments, we do not abandon the hope that directs us toward the ideal world of peace. When we talk of the ideal world, the word “ideal” originates from God, the causal Being. Our Heavenly Parent did not create the world for power, glory, or wealth—for which He/She has absolutely no desire. This is because God, who is absolute, unique, unchanging, and eternal, and who is the causal Being of all things everywhere, already possesses every such thing.

Nonetheless, it is not right to think that God has no desires. Though our Heavenly Parent exists as the original Being of true love, for God to experience love, God needs — and therefore urgently desires — an object partner. This is because love is an experience and a joy that is made possible only by forming a relationship with an object partner, that is, by forming a relationship between subject and object partners. No one can feel love if they are isolated and all alone, and God is no exception. Read on to discover - God’s Dream Realised: How Love Heals Hearts and Builds Strong Families.

Our Heavenly Parent’s motive for creation is true love, and Heavenly Parent’s object partners are true people. God created human beings as persons who could give and receive love freely with Him/Her. In short, human beings were created to become perfect object partners of God’s love. Human beings are God’s sons and daughters. God the Creator is the True Parent of humankind.

God wishes for us to grow up in innocence, centring on true love, and become true people. The world and everything in it were created as a beautifully and delicately prepared environment that would be the foothold for their biological growth. In such an environment, human beings would grow to maturity and flourish physically. However, God had the deepest interest of all in the internal nature and loving character of human beings. By experiencing true love, they were to resemble God’s true love and perfect it.

Our Heavenly Parent created the power of love to be the strongest of all internal, non-material powers. That we experience the power of love within the love of God and according to the laws of God signifies that we take after God, our Parent.

People Can Embody the True Love of God

For people to become the owners of infinite true love, they need to cherish their sense of responsibility. Human beings can possess flawless character, that is, become the perfected beings of love, only when they have become one with God through true love and come to resemble Him/Her. Herein lies the reason God’s love is the happiness, life, and the ideal of human beings.

We are meant to become a true man and a true woman within the true love of God, after which we were meant to become a true couple, by sharing true love with each other. Then we were meant to become true parents after having children.

Human beings learn the true love of God by experience, through stages. As they go through their lives, people are meant to feel and learn the heart of children by receiving the love of their parents, to feel and learn the heart of siblings by exchanging the love of brothers and sisters, to feel and learn the heart of a couple through the love of husband or wife, and to feel and learn through experience the heart of parents through raising children. The family is the dwelling place of these four kinds of heart and love.

Thus, the family is the base for the love, happiness, life, and lineage of human beings. In no place other than the family can human beings learn these four kinds of love and heart. Love is something that can be felt and learned only through experience. The perfection of individual human beings, families, societies, nations, or any other human community is based on the manifestation of true love within the family.

The Quest for Peace and Why It Has Been Fruitless

However, what is the reality of the world? Despite the development of technology and practical conveniences, human beings are now facing a crisis leading to the degradation of human nature. Disorders and affliction of every kind—violence, crime, drug abuse, and war—plague humankind. More significant, the breakdown of the family, including the rising divorce rate, and the collapse of sexual morality is destroying the foundation of society.

People have sought peace and happiness in so many ways, yet they have not achieved satisfying results. After the First and Second World Wars, the League of Nations and the United Nations were created to prevent the reappearance of international conflict. Yet the global activities carried out by these organisations could not bring about a world of peace. Even the efforts of religious organisations have not realised a world of happiness. The ideal of international communism and the dream of fascism have also failed to realise an ideal world. Highly developed technology and political efforts have failed to bring peace and happiness to humanity.

This is all because humankind’s misery and anguish stemmed from losing God’s Dream and thus losing connection with our Heavenly Parent. This problem has not been solved at the fundamental level.

Conclusion

The path to lasting peace and happiness begins with returning to the source of all love—our Heavenly Parent. God, as the True Parent, created human beings to experience, embody, and share true love, guiding us toward becoming fully realised individuals, couples, and families. It is through nurturing love within the family—the first school of heart—that we learn responsibility, compassion, and the principles of true character.

As the world faces crises of human suffering, broken families, and societal conflict, it becomes clear that external solutions alone cannot restore peace. True transformation occurs when we reconnect with God’s original vision, living lives of love that reflect our divine origin. By embracing this path, each person can contribute to building families, communities, and nations rooted in respect, dignity, and harmony, creating the foundation for a peaceful world that mirrors the ideal God intended.
