A Message from your God...
Daughter, your deepest fear is NOT that you are inadequate, but that you are
powerful beyond measure. It is your light - not your darkness, that most frightens you. You ask, "who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?" Actually, who are you not be to so! You are a child of God - born to make manifest the Glory of God that I have placed within each of my children. Come away... Sit with me... Look deeply at the Glory of who you are.
