FEAR AND LOVE




FEAR AND LOVE


If someone has posted this recently, forgive me NOW,
please. Found in my files, I just wanted to read it again--
and wish you all to read it also, carefully, slowly,
and with love for others in your hearts!
Peace and Love.
I mean that.

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 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 is 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.

A RETURN TO LOVE - Marianne Williamson


If possible, be silent for 30 seconds,
please. For a special intention.
NOTE: NOT for me!

I feel that I can handle the light so I'm interested in how that may frighten me. I suppose I've come to realize that I have a lot to offer. It has taken some time and lots of negations though.

My special intentions have been prayed!!!

This is lovely and I don't think I've seen it before.

A great scripture comes to mind...

Perfect Love casts out all fear....

And we reflect His love.

God is good, I already have a job lined up; it's temporary but a possible permanent position. It will pay the bills in the mean time.

LOL a lot did happen in 15 min. My knees hit the floor pretty fast. Fortunately I had a pillow nearby for support lol

Hugs!

Good ole MW. Thanks for sharing this. It never gets old, and if it was published by someone else recently, not to worry. Beautiful writings never get tiring.
