This lesson reminds us that our identity is with the son of God. We are loved by God. As we share our identity with the son of God, we realize our brothers and our sisters and ourselves are the same. This is the shared identity—that we are one and we are one with God.

My true Identity abides in You.

Father, I made an image of myself, and it is this I call the Son of God. Yet is creation as it always was, for Your creation is unchangeable. Let me not worship idols. I am he my Father loves. My holiness remains the light of Heaven and the Love of God. Is not what is beloved of You secure? Is not the light of Heaven infinite? Is not Your Son my true Identity, when You created everything that is?

Now are we One in shared Identity, with God our Father as our only Source, and everything created part of us. And so we offer blessing to all things, uniting lovingly with all the world, which our forgiveness has made one with us.

Quote of the Day
"Success is not unnatural; it is the most natural thing in the world because it is the natural result of man's co-creation with God."
