Our Father

Did you inherit your blue eyes and freckles from your father?  We all have physical characteristics that we've inherited from our parents.  But, have you thought about what you've inherited from your true parent?

Our true parent, called by many names (Source, Infinite Intelligence, The Almighty, or God), has passed to us in our DNA all that It is.  We are God's heirs.  What does it mean to be an heir of God?  We are the sons and daughters of God, entitled to the property of estate of God, just as the heir of a relative or friend comes into possession of the property bequeathed to him.  However, the property or estate of God does not consist of "things."

So, what have we inherited?  We've inherited all the love in the Universe, because God is Love.  We've inherited all the knowledge, wisdom and understanding that fills the Universe, because God is all these things.  We've inherited joy, happiness, peace, abundance and perfect health, because our Source is the same. All that God is, we are, too!

Jesus discovered and understood his own divinity, his unique relationship with God.  He came into the world when the peoples' interpretation of God was very different.  The Old Testament God was jealous, angry, vengeful, someone who wiped out whole cities.  This God loved and hated, created and destroyed, blessed and cursed.  Jesus' concept of God was an awareness of oneness, or spiritual unity with God.

In Unity we understand that we have the same relationship with God as Jesus did.  We understand and accept that the bible verse "I and the Father are one"  (John 10:30) is Truth for us all.

Jesus said "And ye will know the Truth and the Truth will make you free>"  (John 8:32)  Take some time to connect with your true parent through prayer and meditation.  Nurture the relationship and be set free.

Happy Father's Day!
