“However many holy words you read,
However many you speak,
What good will they do you
If you do not act upon them?”
Buddha
“The essence of all religions is love,
compassion, and tolerance.
Kindness is my true religion.
The clear proof of a person’s love of
God is if that person genuinely
shows love to fellow human beings.”
The Dalai Lama
“Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things.”
Paul the Apostle
If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:1-7
The role of religion is simple; teach only love. Should a religious organization retain past doctrines that inhibit or prevent the teaching of love in all areas, then that doctrine should be replaced quickly with doctrines of Love. Getting closer to God is to get closer to His Unconditional Love.

Creator to created we came into being.
Image to image, yet each unique.
Individual to individual we are the children
carrying within His precious gift of love
being free to plan and pilot our own course.
It will not be an easy course on smooth waters.
There will be high seas and rough weather,
but there is the promise of final success.
A guarantee we will make it through
for we are eternal as our Creator is eternal.
We will learn to gain faith by believing.
To gain love by giving love in all situations.
To receive compassion by being compassionate.
We will learn to not judge nor condemn others,
but to celebrate the differences of those unlike us.
Though we may possess knowledge and wisdom,
we will remain humble to all we meet,
understanding they are a part of our Creator as we
greet them with patience and peace in our heart
willing to forgive all with loving kindness.
When the lessons are over we will be anew.
By giving our life in the service of others we
become closer to our Creator who gives us everything.
His heart to ours as we grow to become like Him,
being a child of whom He is well pleased.

The new year is upon us. Now is the time to reflect, think back on 2019 and ask yourself: “What could I have done to make life better for myself?”
When you make life better for others, you automatically make it better for yourself. We are all connected together, in reality, there are no religions, no nationalities, no races, no countries or politics that separate us in the Spirit World, our real home. We are One. This year be kinder, more compassionate toward others no matter how different or diverse they may seem to you.

The day is perfect, full of life,
the sun smiles gently on the earth.
Among the people there is no strife,
their voices rise with dulcet mirth.
This day marked the birth of a child,
who transformed our reality,
His compassion, loving and mild,
heralded our spirituality.
He taught forgiveness at all times,
it matters not how bad the wrong,
and love those who do hurtful crime,
our God will play the judgment song.
Those who heeded the words He spoke,
found lives of devotion and love,
transformed by His message awoke,
reborn from compassion above.
