You are a child of God



You are a child of God.

Marianne Williamson (HarperCollins 1992) Nelson Mandela also used this in his speech.

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, talented, and fabulous? You are a child of God. You are of great worth to the world, to your family, and especially to yourself.

Your playing small does not serve the world. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us. It is in everyone.

When 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."

Let us shine our own light and luminate those who cannot help themselves ... let us always give a helping hand to those in need.
