This is one of my favorite quotes… It is taken from the inaugural speech of Nelson Mandela given in 1994:
”Our worst 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 frightens us most.
We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not
to be? You are a child of God; your playing small
doesn’t serve the world. There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people won’t feel
insecure around you. We were born to make manifest
the glory of God within us. It is not just in some of us,
it is 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.”
JESUS IS LORD
