"Goodness is the natural state of this world. The world is good! Even when it seems evil, it's good. There's only goodness in God. And that same goodness is in us all. You can feel it in yourself. You know when you feel good inside. Yes, you're God's child, too. You are good. You are sacred. Respect yourself. Love the goodness in yourself. Then, put that goodness into the world. That's everybody's Instructions. God made you so you feel good when you do right. Watch when you feel good and follow that good feeling. The good feeling comes from God. When you feel good, God feels good, too. God and you feel good together."
