our deepest fear


bro obet cabrillas quoted this to us this morning. if there's one thing that really struck me in this year's recommitment seminar, it would have to be this. and i believe this is the *one thing* the Lord wanted to tell me today.

and right now, i'm happy. i'm at peace. and i feel LOVED :)

aaahhhh. thank You, Lord :)

OUR DEEPEST FEAR

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 and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. 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.

-Marianne Williamson
