There is nothing that surpasses what God created. All of God’s creation is whole, perfect, innocent, and unchangeable. So if that is true, how can anything be “special”? Specialness implies that there is something other than special! It implies that something God created can be something less than its true nature. Thus it follows that specialness can be attacked and is in danger of losing its specialness. In God’s creation this is impossible.
As people who think we are separate, we often consider ourselves or someone else special. We may refer to someone as our “special someone” or say that someone is special because of some trait or deed they have done. In elevating one person to the status of special we make a judgment about that one and also make a judgment about others. If one is special, another must be less than special or not special at all.
Specialness is the great dictator of the wrong decision. How have we decided to see ourselves? How have we decided to see each other? We truly are as God created us, One and inseparable, so we must all be of God, whole, and filled with love. If we decide to see another as less than, or more than ourselves, we have made a decision that removes us from Oneness. We have made a decision that attacks the wholeness of one or the other.
God created each of us just like the other, whole and One with God. Can we let go of the need to be “special” or make someone else “special”? Can we free each other from the attack of differentness? Can we release the chains of limitedness we have bound each other with? Specialness is a very poor substitute for love. Love accepts all, for it knows that all is good. It knows that all that is real is of God. There are no exceptions. We all share God’s purpose, which is Love. It alone is real, and in the recognition of that love, we return to the awareness of who we really are, always have been, and always will be. This is the state of Heaven.
