I have been enriched by Holy thought.
I have allowed the holy words to strengthen me.
All I have to offer is my love.
I share with those who worship not.
I have kin in the heavens.
I have relatives all around the world.
We follow many diverse paths.
Still we are united and strong as family and friends.
Many deadly bolts have missed their mark.
I have been guarded and protected in life.
Death is not a foe to be feared.
The Spirit has cleared a path for my soul.
I have been like a father to many children.
Few have sought to take advantage of my love.
I have felt unworthy of the responsibilities bestowed.
Still each day I do my best.
Many rules and laws are broken each day.
Still I walk a sacred and loving path.
No anger or hatred has power over me.
Each day I seek to grow in knowledge and wisdom.
It would be easy to crush and destroy others.
It is difficult to find harmony with many.
Still the straight path requires love and service.
God’s Spirit lights, brightens, and illuminates the way.
I have travelled to many exotic places.
I have met people from all walks of life.
Everywhere I have met other children.
Many have put on the robe of service and love.
Early in life my task was to kill and destroy.
Without much thought we could have destroyed the world.
Strength, might, and power were all that was respected.
Now I know the greatest power -- that of love and service.
There are many streams of thought called religions.
Each has a purpose and domain to guide.
Like great rivers they flow to the same destination.
We will find success when we combine their great wisdom.
We still receive the milk of knowledge.
Slowly we are beginning to learn.
Still many think there is no God.
Many do not experience the Spirit’s love and power.
Through God’s love our thoughts can be transformed.
Our world of hate and fear can be changed.
Love, harmony, and peace can be achieved.
We can be changed into loving and worthy children.
With love,
Rev Dorris
