anticipation

Abba, help me not to hide from you.

Thank you for forgiveness and mercy. And for calling me higher: "come, oh come, let us away! Lower and lower every day, always answering to the call to the lowest place of all". Paradoxes. :)

I ask for the courage to speak out what burns it my heart and to step forward.

No hiding.

"Find me here
And speak to me
I want to feel You
I need to hear You..."

Love you.

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, 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.”
