Thoughts for Today
“For God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of
power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Second letter of Paul to Timothy 1:7
“Is it possible, I asked myself, that I’m being
summoned from some deep and holy place
within? Am I being asked to enter a new passage
in the spiritual life — the journey from false self to
true self? Am I being asked to dismantle old
masks and patterns and unfold a deeper more
authentic self — the one God created me to be?
Am I being compelled to disturb my inner universe
in quest of the undiscovered being who clamors
from within?”
From When the Heart Waits,
by Sue Monk Kidd.
“To be fully human, fully myself. To accept all that
I am, all that you envision. This is my prayer. Walk
with me out to the rim of life. Beyond security.
Take me to the exquisite edge of courage. And
release me to become.”
Prayer from When the Heart Waits,
by Sue Monk Kidd.
