“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, and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t 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 are 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.”

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing Ms. Gemma.:)
ReplyDeletefear exist when we don't know something , we are afraid of the unknown believe in the power of God will eliminate our fear - shalom
ReplyDeletewell done..I love the inspirational glitters of your poem.It encourages to keep the faith and belief within and the hope of God's promises.
ReplyDeletelovely post...everyone have fears but believing in God, He removes our fear Because God loves us so much and we should return that love to him by simply follow his commandments and sharing the love to others...
ReplyDeletethis is so true "We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us."
ReplyDeleteWhat a dose of good vibes :)
ReplyDeleteWise words. I think there should be more media exposure and even a market for this - "We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?"
ReplyDeleteanother inspirational poem that we can learn from
ReplyDeleteGod is love and love one another. Although not all people you love will return the love you gave.
ReplyDeleteAt least you have a heart of loving child of God that only few can make.
That's a classic for me. We are born to make manifest the Glory of God. =)
ReplyDeleteWow this is great! Thanks for this post... Yeah there is a way to be proud and inspire other People to shine too and being arrogant about it. We should always know the difference... We should be proud of our blessings, these are the product of our hard work. ;)
ReplyDeleteI feel like shining now! Yes...I am created to shine. Therefore I am shining. :)
ReplyDeletewell done. inspiring! :>
ReplyDelete(PSALM 91) --- Security Under God's Protection.
ReplyDeleteverse 2: The Lord is my refuge and fortress. verse 5-6: You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day; Not the pestilence that roams in darkness nor the devastating plague at noon.
verse 11: For to his angels he has given command about you, that they guard you in all your ways
Very nice poem. The author is unfamiliar to me though I love poetry so thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat is very or certainly true that we are the children of God, who have been sent here on earth with parents kind and dear. These parents are imbued with the gifts and fruit of the Spirit to rear up and grow their children in the "nurture and the admonition of the Lord." I know that the author, Ms. Marianne Williamson, is loving, caring, God-fearing mother. She did faithfully administer to the spiritual needs of her children, who are loved and taken cared of by Heavenly Father.
ReplyDeleteyup we are born to shine, unfortunately not everyone is given the opportunity... just look at the hundreds, if not thousands, of children wandering the streets of metro manila... if given the opportunity and proper caring one of them could be the next Jose Rizal...
ReplyDelete.... great thought! maybe, you can give them the opportunity! maybe, it's you who can also do something, even a little thing for them, too? let your light shine:)
Deletenice good job
ReplyDeleteNice poem. I agree that we are all children of god and so we can inherit divine qualities.My fave church hymn is titled "I Am A Child of God"
