We Are God's Child — Not God's Children

We’ve heard it over and over again, especially in Christian teachings: “We are God’s children.” A familiar phrase, comforting, and powerful. But recently, something stirred within me—a thought that shifted the entire perspective. What if it’s not “God’s children”? What if it’s “God’s child”?

Let me explain...

Our planet is home to over 300 different religions and belief systems. Despite the diversity of names and symbols, many of these systems share a common thread: a Source, a God, a Divine Creator—or the Universe itself. And often, we speak of angels, guides, and protectors that support this connection. That’s not coincidence. That’s alignment.

Through spirituality, we come to remember we are One. One consciousness. One breath. One divine spark expressing itself through many faces. We come here not just to exist, but to expand—our souls, our collective awareness, and yes, even our universe.

So why is the universe still expanding? With all its vastness, galaxies, and wonders—why more?

Because we’re still young. This is a young universe. Still growing, still learning. Still becoming. And who gave birth to this young, pulsing, conscious creation? God. Source. The Divine.

So we are not God’s children as in separate beings, each vying for attention, comparing paths, and placing ourselves into spiritual hierarchies. We are God’s child—a unified expression. A single, evolving creation moving as One. One heart. One soul. One purpose.

Calling ourselves God’s children can unintentionally reinforce ego, separation, and division. It becomes “me vs. them” even in the spiritual sense. But saying we are God’s child calls us back into unity. It reminds us we are not alone, but we are not separate either. We are a shared heartbeat of the Divine, experiencing itself through love, contrast, learning, and creation.

And maybe that’s what it’s always been about—not being many, but remembering we were always One.
