Look for the inherent worth and dignity of every person.


The Voice of the Holy Spirit is weak in you. That is why you must share It. It must be increased in strength before you can hear It. It is impossible to hear It in yourself while It is so weak in your mind. It is not weak in Itself, but It is limited by your unwillingness to hear It. If you make the mistake of looking for the Holy Spirit in yourself alone your thoughts will frighten you because, by adopting the ego’s viewpoint, you are undertaking an ego-alien journey with the ego as guide. This is bound to produce fear. T-5.III.4: 1 - 7

We have a choice: to listen to the ego or to Spirit, to listen to conditional love or unconditional love. The voice for unconditional love is weak within us because we live in fear of being hurt, rejected, attacked. When we look for unconditional love only in ourselves, the ego scoffs, ridicules, tells us we are fools. It is when we perceive unconditional love in others that we recognize and can strengthen it in ourselves.


Unitarian Universalists covenant together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. In joining together to uplift this inherent worth and dignity of every person  peace and joy arise.


Today, look for the inherent worth and dignity in every person you meet.
