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!
