Arise and Shine!!
Below is a poem that Leonard sent me via msn. It really speaks and act as a double confirmation to me.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's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others.
After reading this poem, this verse from the bible came to mind:
Arise, shine;
For your light has come!
And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
~Isaiah 60:1~
