Listen with your heart, meditate on God's Word
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, either angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:37-39)
An excerpt from the book, “A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of
A Course in Miracles” © Marianne Williamson, 1992
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 is 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.
Dear Lord,
Please give me the patience to listen, the courage to speak, the honor to follow, and the wisdom to lead.
As we celebrate Valentine’s Day in terms of hearts, romance, candy, and other endearing activities, let us not forget that the basis for this celebration is LOVE. Happy Valentine’s Day!
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13, NIV)
May God send His love like sunshine, in His warm and gentle way, to fill each corner of your heart, each moment of today. (Author Unknown)
