A stranger once said to me,

"if you had the power to stand on water, would you walk."

I saw the question to be ridiculous,

so i put it behind my mind.

It's September 2014.A day I wish to remember.

I have realized a greater part of the world,

I had a hole in me, a piece of me lost,

but on that day," i got my revelation."

that hole got filled and that piece was found.

I found a whole new part of me.

It was the day I met Jesus.

I've known him,

heard about him,

but had never ever had a relatioship with him until now.

I"ve discovered his love for me,

the reason for his hesitation in his coming again.

he was waiting for me, yes he was waiting for me to find out and have my salvation.

I have discovered an unconditional love,

and most especially, a ridiculous question was really a real one in disguise.

A question of faith, i assume.

Wow! I love this and i am so happy you found Christ's never ending Unconditional love, and accepted his free gift to you. You gave me chills (and thats says ALOT) This is a amazing and i cant even put into words how happy I am to see this. To be able to read someones own finding of Christ, and feel the joy and peace in your words.... its just undescribable. Great Job :)

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.<br /> Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.<br /> <br /> It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.<br /> We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,<br /> gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?<br /> <br /> Actually, who are you not to be?<br /> You are a child of God.<br /> <br /> Your playing small does not serve the world.<br /> There is nothing enlightened about shrinking<br /> so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you.<br /> We are all meant to shine, as children do.<br /> <br /> We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.<br /> It is not just in some; it is in everyone.<br /> <br /> And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give<br /> other people permission to do the same.<br /> As we are liberated from our fear,<br /> our presence automatically liberates others.&quot;<br /> Marianne Williamson
