Q: In our tradition, we are taught those who do not believe the same as us are incorrect and unless they change shall be punished by God. Also as responsible believers we have a duty to try and correct their view?
Does the Father love only some of his children? Are not all children of God?
Before there was organized religion, how did people worship? Were these millions all in error and abandoned by their Father/Mother?
To every place and time is a path or religion. Look to a person’s heart and their action; a good, loving person, who makes the world a better place, is a servant of God and has a religion to follow. Let God evaluate the measure of their lives; God’s mercy is without limit.

Opposites
The sparrows play and flutter about in dirt.
Flapping their wings
They cleanse them selves with the soil.
If we did this
We would become dirty.
Requiring water to accomplish
The very same task,
We wonder how cleansing is possible?
Yet the same objective
May be reached by different means;
Sometimes they appear as opposites.

The Heart
Traveler: What of the Heart?
Master: The Heart dwells
Within the soul
And is the window
Through which we experience God.
It is the fountain
Through which the river flows
And is the mirror
Of God’s Love.
It is God’s Gift
To you and I.
Some Hearts
Easily perceive God’s Wonder
And others
Are hardened to God’s Glory.
This mystery
Is God’s alone.
The Heart
Is like the babe
Who yearns
To be in the mother’s arms.
It is waiting to go home
And when God Calls
The rejoicing begins.
