God is all there is. In the beginning, God.
Jesus said that “I and my Father are one.” We’re made in the image and likeness of the One.
Since God is what we are, let God be what we show. Let’s see the God in every face, everywhere we go.
Our mind is divine in the garden of our soul. We let in love, faith, and happiness, and witness what unfolds.
God is all there is. In the beginning, God.

In Athens, Paul taught: “The God who made the world and all that is in it, the Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands, nor is he served by human hands because he needs anything. Rather it is he who gives to everyone life and breath and everything. He made from one the whole human race to dwell on the entire surface of the earth . . . so that people might seek God . . . and find him, though indeed he is not far from any one of us. For 'In him we live and move and have our being,' as even some of your poets have said, 'For we too are his offspring'” (Acts: 17:24-8).
