Jew, Christian, Muslim

Three great faiths
All share the God of Abraham.
Two share the blood of Abraham.
All share God's promise to Abraham.
Why do the members of each faith not love
Those of the others?
Some do.
Some understand that they share a common God.
So many do not.
Each wishes to be exclusive.
Each wishes to be the only path
To redemption.
Does God only love us
If born in the proper place
In the proper faith?
Would God so easily condemn his creation?
I think not.
God is love.
Love that wants only what is best for us.
Love that wants us close.
As Augustine said:
"He loves each one of us
As if there was only one of us."
Three faiths.
One God.
One God for all humanity,
Not Just for those of the Three,
Not bound by humanity's limits.
Polytheist.
Monotheist.
Atheist.
All are Hers.
