Children of the Father God

Children of the Father God Little child sits listening in Sunday school – Listening to lessons on the golden rule – Singing songs of Jesus – of the Savior’s love Until the Sunday hour is done. Teacher standing at the door to say “Good bye” Feels a tiny hand slip in her hand – Looking down she sees two bright eyes And a question that cannot be disguised. “How many children does the Father have? Are there any other children just like me? God must have the biggest family here on this earth.” Yes, every face – every race - that you see. Little child stands listening at the door; Teacher sees a question coming – just one more – Did the Lord jump for joy the day I was born? Did the Lord plan for you and me? Teacher looks deep in her eyes of childlike awe Knowing just how important this answer is With a gentle smile she draws her close Then slowly kneels to so gently say: “We are all the children of the Father, God - Each of us a member of God’s family God planned for every one of us who walks on this earth Every face – every race – that you see.” Based on a true conversation experience with a little child in Los Angeles, CA after a concert. "Each of us is needed. Each of us is necessary."

This is an excellent piece full of divine truth. Irrespective of tribe, race, religion, we are all children of the most high and the book of revelations has made me understand that EVERY TRIBE will be represented in Heaven. Great work my friend.

Yes we are all children of God, yet history has shown human ego has destroyed unity... Well expressed

It is so sad to see the divisions that have been created throughout history for various reasons - none of them valid! Thank you SO for your visit and your commentary. Maybe this poem will be a place where "soupers" can have a dialogue. All the best my friend.

This is so good to read during times of racial tension, Sam. Such an uplifting message of unity. Love this one on your CD, the music just makes the words jump off the page! Blessings, my dear friend ~ John

Thank you my friend. I was hoping the message of this song/poem would be an invitation for all of us to come together as children of God. I am so happy to know that you "love" this song. Would be great if this poem could be the source of a PS dialogue BTW, thank you for your notes on Breath of Grace. I so appreciate the time you took to do give me your comments. Have a wonderful day! Blessings!
