God still loves those who behave badly

Does God still love people who have lost sight of God? Does God still love people who every day do things they should not do, or every day do not do the things they know they should do? Does God still love people who treat others badly, or who hurt those who love them? Does God still love people who lash out in anger, or lose their senses in addictions chosen to dull their pain or their sense of meaninglessness? Yes, yes, yes, a million times yes! Every day is a new beginning, a fresh chance to reach out to God, a new opportunity to make up for past mistakes and ask for healing for all pain and sorrows and bad behaviours and mistakes. This is your everlasting joy and glory, that God loves you, now and forever, and just as each one of us wants to give good things to those we love, so God wants to give good things to you; blessings in abundance.

Believe in peace

Believe in peace through all these dreadful times; believe in the power of goodness which is far mightier than the biggest bombs, and the peaceful force of believing will bring about the desired results.

A great and glorious civilisation

When you set your feet on the Holy Path, and determine, with great dedication, that nothing will ever induce you to change your mind, in that moment you join a great and glorious civilisation composed of all the people from the distant past to the furthest future, who have made that same decision. A grand and glorious company are these sincere people, from all religions and all walks of life. They include the quiet unknown soul doing their best in the most ordinary of lives, and the great saints and spiritual masters, and many others like yourself, determined to be loyal to God even in adverse circumstances. You are not alone, you are part of the mightiest civilisation that ever was or ever will be.
