Chance for a New Beginning
The God who existed before any religion counts on you to make the oneness of the human family known and celebrated.
We are each made for goodness, love and compassion. Our lives are transformed as much as the world is when we live with these truths.
In God's family, there are no outsiders, no enemies.
God's love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.
The truth of who we are is that we are because we belong.
When we serve others we discover a deep contentment.
You can’t do anything about global poverty, but yes you can, you can do something about this guy, because as you know, the sea is only drops of water that have come together.
Anything war can do, peace can do better.
There's no question about the reality of evil, of injustice, of suffering, but at the center of this existence is a heart beating with love.
I have seen firsthand how injustice gets overlooked when the victims are powerless or vulnerable, when they have no one to speak up for them and no means of representing themselves to a higher authority. Animals are in precisely that position. Unless we are mindful of their interests and speak out loudly on their behalf, abuse and cruelty go unchallenged.
