Daily Meditation for November 12, 2024

One of the greatest mysteries in life is that we are all one in God—the God of peace and love. All people are made in God’s image and likeness, and God is love. So, being people of love is deep in our DNA. There is a significant interconnection between each of us and all people. As people of love, we hold each person as a sacred being. We honor and respect all people even if their opinions and beliefs are very different from ours. Even if we have very opposing viewpoints, we know that beyond strife and conflict, the God of peace and love abides deep within each of us. As people filled with love, there is the greater reality that we are one—one in God and one with each other. Let the God of peace and love reign in our hearts today.
