His Calling

I would love to share one of my favorite quotes that is by Marianne Williamson:

“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.”


      As I read this quote, I am reminded how God is calling us all to do great things, and how easy it is to just dismiss the call with the excuse that there is someone else better at accomplishing it. 
      Do not underestimate your potential.  Use your God-given gifts and talents to do great things! Why else would He have given them to you?  You can do all through Christ who will give you strength!
