There was no Big Bang for God.

God is and always has been present. There was no Big Bang for God, for God has always been. That presence, that love, that unifying identification with all, has always been. It can’t be said that from the beginning there was God because that implies that there was a beginning and that there was, by definition, a moment before the existence of God. It is for that reason that the most crucial truth is “God is.”

Human life in all of its shapes and forms and the many characters in which it is manifested is always sacred, and it is the sacredness of life that is the real source of the greatest joy. It is the acknowledgment of that sacredness that affirms the purpose, the “why” of your lives, that can only be answered by “God is.”

You are blessed. You are sacred. You are given meaning because God is. Rejoice and be peaceful.
