Why Everyone is God’s Child

When I met God, one of the first things I was shown was all of the souls on the Earth. Every soul looked like a pearlescent white ball or a precious pearl. As I glanced at every soul over the Earth with God, I saw little labels over each soul which said, “Atheist”, “Christian”, “Buddhist”, “Muslim”, “Hindu”, “Jewish”, “Agnostic” etc. I knew every religion was simply a label to God and God looked at the soul.

As I looked over the Earth through God’s eyes, God and the angels took me on a tour of the souls. We hovered above the Earth looking at every individual. It was as though I was flying with the angels wearing a white robe and getting a little glimpse into everyone’s lives. The souls, like precious pearls, had entire life histories within them. Yet, regardless of their faith, their origins, their lives on the earth, their hopes and dreams, or where they were born, they were simply made of pure love. Love is the essence of God and so love is the essence of our soul.

One thing I especially enjoyed was getting a view of the atheist soul with the angels. God and the angels showed me how much they loved and even admired them. There was no anger or judgement for them, no fear or condemnation: only love. God and the angels didn’t see their lack of belief as a flaw, but admired them for seeking the truth in science. God and the angels even showed me that sometimes the atheist is more concerned with truth than a Christian. Truth, after all, is a component of love.

God and the angels also showed me without words, that if an atheist or an agnostic died, it didn’t mean they were going somewhere bad as many Christians thought. After all, no one can know what a person says before they die or at their moment of death. I knew God was showing me all of this because of how I grew up. I was raised in a place where certain viewpoints about God and life on the other side ran rampant. As a child, these limiting perspectives only pushed me further away from Christianity. I often heard things like only Christians were God’s children, and no one else.

Yet, God and the angels showed me how they see things. God spoke to me in the vision and said, “Every soul is my child. They can’t not be my child because I made them in my image.” The image of God is pure love and so the soul is pure love, too. God and the angels then showed me an ideal future of how they hoped one day everyone would get along regardless of their faith, but when people choose to fight over which faith is wrong or right, it’s important to remember that every person of every faith has that same Love and Light of God.

You are made for peace, love, and joy.
