I stand next to you, tired and weary, embracing a Bible, yet you still look to Me for hope.
I stand next to you, empty, opening myself to you, embracing a Torah, yet you remain hopeless.
I stand next to you, with the greatest of faith in your soul, embracing the Koran, yet you no longer look My way.
I stand next to you, with fervent prayer for your well-being, embracing the Kangyur or one of the texts from the Chinese Buddhist Canon, yet you do not trust Me anymore.
I stand next to you, imploring your forgiveness, not just for Me, but for yourself and your brethren. I am embracing the Bhagavad-Gita, yet forgiveness is nowhere to be found.
I stand next to you, loving you, with the hope that you will love Me back. I am embracing the Guru Granth Sahib.
I stand next to you always even though you continue to seek Me out. You cannot see Me if you cannot see Me in others. If you cannot see Me in others, you cannot see Me in yourself. I am your God, I am your Goddess, I am the Divine. Continue to judge Me by the Scriptures I embrace and you have failed at one of my greatest teachings; to love thy neighbor as thyself. The Scriptures do not frighten you. The children embracing those Scriptures do not frighten you. You frighten yourself because of the realization that you are loved so intensely by Me and by those you call your enemies.
Put down your judgment. Embrace the Bible as much as the Torah. Respect the Koran as much as the Bhagavad Gita. Go beyond the form. Then and only then will you see Me embracing you. Then and only then will you feel the faith I have for you. Then and only then will you trust Me. And only then will you forgive Me, and in doing so, you will forgive yourself.
I wait patiently.
