Immitating Greatness

I have stood at the top of the Empire State Building, Space Needle, and Eiffel Tower. While these views are impressive, none have made as deep an impression on me as standing on the highest point of the Swiss Alps. Man can build pyramids, but God created Mount Everest. Man can build stadiums, while God created the Grand Canyon. In all my travels God's majestic creations have reigned supreme. And of all of these magnificent creations we are His greatest. You and I. His children. As you look into the mirror you are looking into the eyes of Heaven's crowning creation. Our potential for growth and progression is beyond our comprehension.

We are more than the pyramids, we are greater than the Grand Canyon, we are "MORE THAN ENOUGH.1" Yes, all of our vessels are a little broken, tattered and worn, but only temporarily. The Lord can heal our hearts and take us to higher ground if we only ask. "Yea, thou art merciful unto thy children when they cry unto thee, to be heard of thee and not of men, and thou wilt hear them.2"

"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.3"
