An all-powerful God created a beautiful garden and crowned it with Life!
In this garden fish and animals and birds of all kinds flourished abundantly.
And from this Life evolved humanity.
Now because this God was invisible many humans said that He did not exist.
And they lived their lives ruled by fear and pride.
They invented money and accumulated land and possessions calling themselves Princes and Kings.
They overpowered others and enslaved them.
They built cities and ships and ruled like tyrants.
But some believed that there were powers behind creation and sought to win the favor of these gods.
From time to time someone would draw near to Him and the Great God would put a Light into his heart and send him out to tell the people of His Love.
But some misunderstood and thought that God was like their masters - harsh and cruel - and they preached judgement and punishment.
Others assumed He was a moral being and preached what made humanity superior to animals in their pride.
But some understood that God was Love and became Sons and Daughters of the Great God.
But the rulers of this world were jealous of their power and sought to subjugate His servants using violence and terror.
They tortured and killed many of God's Children.
And they established their own absolute rule.
They modified the message of the Great God to suit themselves and killed anyone who dared to contradict them calling them heretics and devils.
But God did not abandon His creation.
He found men and women who understood Him and put Light into their hearts in the hope that the world could be saved.
He told them not to frighten the Princes and Kings but to show them love at all times and forgive as He had forgiven them.
And so we live in hope.
That the Princes and Kings of our world and those who hate the God who created them will see and change and lose their fear.
For God is Love.
We must open our hearts.
And give love.
To everyone.
