I attended a seminar and I heard this lady read this out to the audience;
“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 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 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.”
I relate this to the book of Joshua particularly the first chapter when God was appointing him into leadership and encouraging him to be strong and of good courage.....that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law..(Joshua 1:6). We can all draw our own personal strength from this beautiful chapter and relate it to our situation and circumstances and testify to the goodness of gods love in our lives.
We are never inadequate when we focus on God whether it is our own or someone else's light or darkness that frighten us the most. Let us continue to draw our strength from god.
Be bold and be Courageous and know that 2 Corinthians 12:9 “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
Stay Focus. Stay Blessed.
