BEYOND MEASURE

"OUR DEEPEST 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 IN US. IT'S NOT JUST SOME OF US. IT'S IN EVERYONE.
AND AS WE LET OUR 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"




(Marianne Williamson - and quoted by Nelson Mandela 1994 at his inauguration!

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers- Liebe ist stark!!

Wow, this book took my breath away-it let me read until dawn and not want to sleep or eat until I had finished it. It made me come closer to understand God's love for me. I am moved to tears thinking about my God. This book is about a prostitute's life and how after years in slavery God told a righteous and Godfearing man to marry and love her unconditionally. Michael Hosea did and this love totally got through to me. It is God's love for me, a sinner, for me, someone who always runs back to her pride, to the ways I know best, to sin and lies sometimes. I am so glad to be called Daughter of the KING, daughter of the MOST HIGH God. I am so glad that I finally heard God's soft voice talking to me nealry 8 years ago on that road in Lausanne, Switzerland. I heard HIM say: it's all right, I am going ot take care of it. Oh and how He has since then!!! 8 Years of change, of healing , of pain but of hope and love.
God, help me to understand your love for me better and better. I do not want to run away form you or mistrust you anymore. Here I am, your little Angel! My Beloved!!!
The book is simply stunning
