In
a restaurant, a four year old is asked by the waitress, “What can I
get for you?” He answers, “A puppy!” He thinks everybody is
getting whatever they want. We really believe that whatever
we want we can have. Some times we feel, though, that we have to
earn it to have the entitlement, to have the authority. But Jesus
said, “does not scripture say that we are gods?”
Marianne
Williamson says in A
Return to Love,
“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... 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.”
Olympic
athletes from around the world keep their hearts and minds on what
they pursue. So too must we become fortified, grounded in truth, and
reach a higher plateau for our lives. We must be rooted like a tree
which withstands the storms when they come. And as each athlete is a
part of a very dynamic team, so are we. Affirm, “We
are all on the same team.”
Like the five rings in the Olympics symbol are intertwined and
represent the five geographical “hearts” of the world, our
hearts, too, are intertwined—on the cellular level and
intergalactically! It is decreed by God.
Transformation. We
can transform our lives. Prayer changes things. (God is so good!)
When we are in our storm and wavering in fear it is not time to think
of yourself, but to give of yourself. Be in prayer with others in
their need and members on your team will also “hold the space”
for you. They are champions; we are champions.
Authority. When
you know Who You are, not who you think you are, you know you are the
author with a pen to re-write your destiny, and you have the
authority. “I am a child or manifestation of God and every moment
in this life love, wisdom, and power flow through me. I am One with
God.”
You
are the only one like you on Earth and in any universe. You can no
longer afford to be diminished. Like a child, let your heart-light
shine!
