light

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. it is our light that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fablous? "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 are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
- Marianne Williamson


Jesus was not afraid of His light.
"I am"
Our messiah was not fearful of his power, nor intimated by his splendour.
mocked...beaten...insulted...riduculed.....
Jesus does not recant his majest.

Jesus was not afraid of His light.
He came to shine
He came to manifest the glory of God in all circumstances
in nails
in wine
in open waters
in a secluded garden

Jesus was not afraid of His light.

If we are the people of God, then we are Of God
If God is light,
and power,
and love,
Then we are also created within this majestic framework,
Carrying within us this light
and power
and love.

God's light in us is meant ot radiate.
in All circumstances
in fears
in songs
in empty arms
in plentiful harvest


Jesus was not afraid of His light.

Presented with death....
Jesus does not recant His glory
"I am"
This is no ordinary light
This is not light intended to be hidden
nor light created to cause fear
This is our GOD
This is the Spirit
This is His Kingdom.
Let your light so shine before men.


Jesus was not afraid of His light
In the same way

Let your light so shine before men
