The God who existed before any religion counts on you to make the oneness of the human family known and celebrated.

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

God's love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.

In God's family, there are no outsiders, no enemies.

Like when you sit in front of a fire in winter — you are just there in front of the fire. You don't have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you.

God's dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion.
