“The Chase” … a great topic to meditate on. What to chase after … and what to let go of. These are the questions that rule and decide how we live our lives. We don’t normally think that our decisions on this day can alter the landscape of our lives for years to come … but it is most definitely so. In this quote, Nietzsche talks about “finding” instead of “chasing” … I think that is an appropriate way to look at it. It is in learning to be patient, and still, that we find what God has planned for us … when we are busy chasing, we end up running right by what we otherwise would have found.
We can even learn about God from our atheist friends as well :-).
“Since I grew tired of the chase
And search, I learned to find;
And since the wind blows in my face,
I sail with every wind.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Religion4All is an idea: that every human being (no matter their race, religion, sexuality, social status, lifestyle, or any other possible factor) is LOVED by God; just … as … they are.
We all are loved by God, and NO religion or person has a monopoly on it. Every single person on this planet is loved equally by God … SO many are cut off from God because they are told they don’t belong. God loves everyone … we ALL are beautiful creations … we don’t need to cringe when we hear the words “God”, or “religion”, or their judgments … God LOVES us all!
There is no requirement to change in order to be LOVED by God, or to LOVE God. God is LOVE, and LOVE is God … period. There is no one who God loves more than anyone else … there are only those who choose to LOVE more … to love God more, and consequently then to love each other more. In doing so, we grow closer to God … and know God.
By opening our hearts, and minds to God (free of boundaries like religion, or social trends); by LOVING God … we are exactly where we are meant to be. If we maintain that openness, never allowing any person or event to make us close our hearts, we will be guided by God to be who we are meant to be.
In that space of openness we can then live a life of LOVE, and be guided to where we are meant to be … forever in LOVE.
