It brings to mind Jesus saying unless we become as little children… Children are so forgiving that one minute they are fighting and the next they are playing like nothing ever happened. But adults hold grudges sometimes forever.
My life changed forever when I realized that there was nothing my children could do to make me love them less.
When people tell me that they did this or that and doubtsthat God will forgive them / I say would you forgive your child if he did it and was sorry.

I still believe I know why God makes all babies so precious and adorable and lovable. It’s so they won’t be murdered by their parents when they become teenagers.

Seriously, when Tim said “Babies are adorable, yes… but so are adults. If only we could see them through different eyes. If only we could look long enough and deeply enough to see the divine within (regardless of their actions).”, you have hit the nail on the head. If God sees all mankind that way, which I believe he does, then how can I justify looking at mankind any other way? I can’t!

Once I came to the conclusion that God loves everyone to the same degree, no matter what they believe, say, or do, the result was for the first time in my life I have the freedom to love everyone no matter what they say, believe or do. What a life changer for me!

uncanny … just received this:

“Let us be very sincere in our dealings with each other, and have the courage to accept each other as we are. Do not he surprised or become preoccupied at each other’s failures – rather, see and find in each other the good, for each one of us is created in the image of God.”
~Mother Teresa of Calcutta

I am encouraged by the indwelling and inherent good in people.

Dear God,

Help me see Your presence in each person I meet or think of.
I know Your vibration in myself, I feel Your presence.
Strengthen my ability to be aware of You in everyone.
Sometimes, I am right there, in tune with the people I encounter.
There are also times when I seem to forget that You are in each person;
circumstances when I am not as loving as I am capable of being.
Judgment and fear rise up in me from places I do not understand.
I am willing to change, to be healed.
Help me see myself and all people through Your eyes.
It is my sincere desire to be like You in every way.
May my life reflect Your love.
And so it is!
Amen
