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 fundamentally necessary for our personal development. 

Now hear this!  Take a look INSIDE because, quite possibly, the primary terror weapon on this Earth is internal (not external) in nature. 

My sister, my brother, consider this: ARE YOU AFRAID OF YOURSELF?  Are you somehow terrified by your own possibilities?  Have you been gradually conditioned by your environment (or your associates) to believe that you could never break free from any restrictive chain that paralyzes you in place?  Or are you like the proverbial elephant, tethered since birth to a tiny tree – never realizing your power and potential to break free – because you are incarcerated in misinformation and memories of a distant 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 Heaven 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 human associates declare you to be!

Marianne Williamson writes in A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles:  “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!

Start today…right now.  In your arena, be as fearless as David, because Goliath is no match for you.  Be as courageous as Mary, unafraid to embrace your God-ordained destiny, with full knowledge that some may fail to discern the origin or significance of “the holy thing” seeded within you. (Luke 1:35)

Hey you…there’s greatness inside!

“FEAR NOT!” It’s a profoundly powerful phrase, oft repeated in The Holy Writ.  It challenges us to transform dismal days into bright tomorrows.  It summons us to sojourn outside of ourselves to a higher plane of knowledge and being – into awesome appointed spaces where the perfect will of God resides.

Today, I feel the power.  I will not doubt.  I will not resist.  It is THE LIVING CHRIST, Who is resurrected and animated in my heart and 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!
