We are simply the children of God.

What you deny you lack, not because it is lacking, but because you have denied it in another and are therefore not aware of it in yourself. Every response you make is determined by what you think you are, and what you want to be is what you think you are. What you want to be, then, must determine every response you make. T-7.VII.2:6-8

The above passage focuses on what we want to be. When we react to others, we demonstrate what we think we are. Common facades are the kewl person, the bad ass, the know it all, the patriot, the lover, the fixer, the victim. So many roles which miss the mark of our genuine and authentic selves. Self knowledge is one of the key skills of spiritual intelligence and so many people don’t seem to be aware that they are an extension of God’s unconditional love into the world of the Kingdom.

In Unitarian Universalism we covenant together to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. We are part of the inherent worth and dignity of our Transcendent Source.

Today it is suggested that we remind ourselves several times throughout the day that we are simply children of God.
