My words to meditate upon for this day:

“I have come into this world to see this: 
the sword drop from men’s hands even at the height 
of their arc of anger 
because we have finally realized there is just one flesh to wound 
and it is His – the Christ’s, our 
Beloved’s. 
  
I have come into this world to see this: all creatures hold hands as 
we pass through this miraculous existence we share on the way 
to even a greater being of soul, 
a being of just ecstatic light, forever entwined and at play 
with Him. 

I have come into this world to hear this: 
every song the earth has sung since it was conceived in
the Divine’s womb and began spinning from 
His wish, 

every song by wing and fin and hoof, 
every song by hill and field and tree and woman and child, 
every song of stream and rock, 
  
every song of tool and lyre and flute, 
every song of gold and emerald 
and fire, 

every song the heart should cry with magnificent dignity 
to know itself as 
God: 
for all other knowledge will leave us again in want and aching – 
only imbibing the glorious Sun 
will complete us. 
  
I have come into this world to experience this: 
men so true to love 
they would rather die before speaking 
an unkind word, 
men so true their lives are His covenant – 
the promise of 
hope. 

I have come into this world to see this: 
the sword drop from men’s hands 
even at the height of their arc of rage 
because we have finally realized 
there is just one flesh 
 we can wound.”

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.
