What would I give?

The January 2, 2013 prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  is If you could give any person in the world one gift (money and time are no obstacle), who would you pick and what would you give them?

What would I give to humanity,
to the children of Adam and Eve?

To the war weary widow and orphan,
to the homeless and hungry
of every religion
waiting in every nation
for a war to end,
for someone to come to their aid,
for food,
water,
shelter,
and clothing.

What would I give to humanity,
when there is no peace on Earth
and hate is preached instead of love?

What can I give
that goes beyond the necessities
that every human being needs
to live a fruitful
and peaceful life?

I can give the knowledge
that faith imparts
that Armageddon's battles will end
when humanity
accepts its unity;
accepts that it is a single species
and that the welfare of the individual
contributes to the welfare of the human race;
we are our brothers
and our sisters keepers.
