ShiningLight: TRAPPED

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!

TRAPPED

TRAPPED/LOST in some way The picture I put on here inspired me when I found it online. Look at those 12 little ones trapped in that bucket. Trapped. Trapped is how I have been feeling this week. It is a feeling of being lost in some sort of way. I still know who I am and I know who my Father and my Savior is. Yet I am processing very good things that need to reach my heart instead of only my brain. I feel trapped in a circle of events that seem to always happen in the same way. I am glad that my feelings do not reflect God’s reality for HE is with me and HE is my lighthouse as HE told me today. He will shed more light and HE will help me grow in this, HE will light the way for me. Only with HIS help I can get out of this trap that past hurt and experiences have opened up for me. Do you feel trapped in any area or any way? KSB
