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 doesn't 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.

Very Interesting quote. I believe it is true that when we release our fears, we begin helping others.
As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
I especially liked that line. I read your previous blog the other day but was waiting to comment until I thought about a few things. I don't know why this has been such a struggle, especially for someone who desires to be in the ministry. But I do know that you have grown so much because of it. From where you came to where you are now, you're not even the same person or have the same faith. It's grown and changed. Keep believing...God is doing things in you and through you.
Ooooh - GOOD ONE!!!
