Changes

Whatever you can do to erase any of that smell or filth or fear or ignorance, you help that child take one more small step to growing closer to the discovery of who they are. Every day of your life, be it nothing more than a smile, a kind word, a loving touch, a word of advice, sharing of a meal, whatever you do, no matter how small, no matter how great, you help this person grow closer to the discovery of who they really are.

Let me ask you, you now who know you are as a child of God. Has this truth not set you free? Has this truth not helped you to experience life more to the fullest? Are you not now loving life more? Do you not love to learn more? Are you not learning to love more? Are you not learning to love life more? Are you not loving to learn life more? This gift has been given to you so how can you hide it? You must share it, no matter how small, how seemingly fragmented it might be. Every touch, every gesture of kindness and love gives to that other person a taste of life and love. They more they taste, the more they will want. The more starved they have been, the more fearful and mistrustful they may be, but the slightest bit of good is infinitely more powerful than all of the fear and mistrust can ever be. For when you taste of love, truth, goodness, beauty, mercy, and compassion how can you ever want to lose that taste?

So on this Parent’s Day, my friends, my message to you is you must learn to be more than a brother or sister. You must learn the love of the parent and you must learn to love each of your brothers and sisters not just as a brother and sister, but as a parent. The parent’s love does not disappear with the inappropriate or immature behavior of their children. A parent is there to continue to nurture, to continue to love and guide. You are not physical parents of your brothers and sisters, but in a way you are becoming the spiritual parents. The master was not the biologic father of his brothers and sisters, but when his father passed did he not serve the role and responsibility of their parent, and did he not serve the responsibility of spiritual parent to all the children of this planet? Even those who put a crown of thorns on his head, spit in his face, mocked, scorned and whipped him. He looked at them as a parent would look at their child and said, “Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.” This is the height, the acme, the goal of love.

I am not there yet and you are not there yet. But we are learning, are we not? Are we not learning to find this kind of love, is that not our purpose? Are we not loving more to learn how to do this? And in this process are we not loving life more? Ask yourself, do you not love life more than you did a year ago or 5 or 10 years ago? If your answer is yes, then you are truly following the real purpose of life. Good day, my friends.
