HEY YOU...THERE'S GREATNESS INSIDE!

HEY YOU…THERE’S GREATNESS INSIDE!

Traversing this journey called life, all of us run into occasional roadblocks or hurdles.  Sometimes we fail.  At other times, we manage to exceed our own expectations.  Each of these experiences is necessary and expedient to our personal development. 

Now hear this!  Take a look in inside for, quite arguably, the primary terror on our planet is internal (not external) in nature. 

My sister, my brother, are you afraid of yourself?  Are you terrified by your own possibilities?  Have you been gradually conditioned by your environment (or your associates) to believe that you can never break free from any and every chain that binds?  Are you like the proverbial elephant, tethered since birth to a tiny tree – never realizing your own power and potential to break free – because you are incarcerated in vague memories of a times long since past when you were so much less than your present self?

At the end of the day, it is the resolute power of your human will (augmented and assisted from above) that grants you the capacity to boldly declare, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)  Know this: YOU are infinitely MORE than any societal norms or family associations declare you to be!

In “A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles,” Marianne Williamson writes:  “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.  We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?  Actually, who are you not to be?  You are a child of God.  Your playing small does not serve the world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.  We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.  It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.  And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

Wow!

So start today.  Start right now.  Be as fearless as David in your world, because Goliath is no match for you.

Be as courageous as Mary, standing unafraid to embrace your God-ordained destiny, with full knowledge that many may fail to understand the origin or meaning of “the holy thing” seeded within. (Luke 1:35)

HEY YOU…THERE’S GREATNESS INSIDE!

“fear not!” It’s a powerful phrase, oft repeated within The Holy Writ.  It challenges us to transform dismal days into bright tomorrows.  It summons us to sojourn out of ourselves – to a higher plane of knowledge and being – into awesome and appointed spaces where the will and Word of God eternally reside.

I feel the power.  I will not fight it.  Indeed, it is The Living Christ, who is resurrected and fully alive within my heart and within my spirit.  So I will be.  I will become.  I will stand.  I will triumph!

Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING.  Maranatha!
